Abstract

A streamline banking system includes a customer kiosk having a photographic element and a processor. The processor is programmed to capture an image with the photographic element and determine that the captured image comprises an image of a machine-readable code. The processor decodes the machine-readable code and extracts customer financial account data therefrom. The customer financial account data is associated with one or more financial institutions. The processor retrieves information associated with one or more financial product offerings offered by the financial institutions. Each of the financial institutions is presented to a customer along with the respective financial accounts and the respective financial product offerings. The customer selects one or more of the financial accounts and the financial product offerings. The customer kiosk then transmits to the customer service computing system the customer selection.
