Abstract

Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods of providing automated teller machine (ATM) status notifications. A method includes detecting a signal near an ATM, determining that the signal is indicative of the ATM being comprised, calculating a compromise score based at least on the determination that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised, and displaying an image on a user interface of the user device in a manner that reflects the compromise score.

Claims (39)

1. A method comprising:

detecting, by a user device, a signal near an automated teller machine (ATM);

determining, by the user device, that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised;

calculating, by the user device, a compromise score based at least on the determination that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised; and

displaying, by the user device, an image on a user interface of the user device in a manner that reflects the compromise score.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal is separate from an ATM signal associated with the ATM and is indicative of an ambient data capture device in an area proximate the ATM.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the signal is one of a Bluetooth signal or a Wi-Fi protocol signal.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the ambient data capture device is one of an electronic reader attached to the ATM or a camera positioned to capture a user's PIN from a distance away from the ATM.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ATM is a first ATM, the method further comprising receiving, by the user device, a user input requesting information regarding a second ATM.

6. The method of claim 5 , the method further comprising displaying an indication on the user interface regarding a comprise score of the second ATM, wherein the second ATM is closer in proximity to the first ATM than a third ATM is to the first ATM.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised comprises:

determining that the signal is a new signal that has not been detected at the ATM or that the signal is separate from an ATM signal associated with the ATM and has been detected multiple times at the ATM.

8. A provider computing system, comprising:

a network interface; and

a processing circuit comprising one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, the memory comprising an automated teller machine (ATM) database, and wherein the processing circuit is structured to:

receive a signal detected by a user device proximate the ATM;

determine that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised;

calculate a compromise score based at least on the determination that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised; and

cause an image to be displayed on a user interface of the user device in a manner that reflects the compromise score.

9. The provider computing system of claim 8 , wherein the signal is separate from an ATM signal associated with the ATM and is indicative of an ambient data capture device in an area proximate the ATM.

10. The provider computing system of claim 9 , wherein the signal is one of a Bluetooth signal or a Wi-Fi protocol signal.

11. The provider computing system of claim 9 , wherein the ambient data capture device is one of an electronic reader attached to the ATM or a camera positioned to capture a user's PIN from a distance away from the ATM.

12. The provider computing system of claim 8 , the wherein the processing circuit is structured to receive an indication from the user device that the ATM has been reported as being compromised, and wherein determining that the ATM has been reported as being comprised is based on a user input received by the user device.

13. The provider computing system of claim 12 , wherein the processing circuit is further structured to cause a reward message to be displayed on the user interface including a reward for reporting the ATM as being compromised.

14. The provider computing system of claim 13 , wherein the reward message comprises indicia structured to enable the reward to be redeemed.

15. A mobile device, comprising:

a network interface circuit structured to communicate data to and from a provider computing system associated with a provider;

a sensor structured to detect a signal;

an input/output device structured to exchange data with a user; and

a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory, the processing circuit structured to:

detect, by the sensor, the signal near an automated teller machine (ATM);

determine that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised;

calculate a compromise score based at least on the determination that the signal is indicative of the ATM being compromised; and

display, by the input/output device, an image on a user interface in a manner that reflects the compromise score.

16. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the signal is separate from an ATM signal associated with the ATM and is indicative of an ambient data capture device in an area proximate the ATM.

17. The mobile device of claim 16 , wherein the signal is one of a Bluetooth signal or a Wi-Fi protocol signal.

18. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the image indicates a probability of the ATM being compromised.

19. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the processing circuit is structured to display, by the input/output device, an indication of previous compromise scores associated with the ATM.

20. The mobile device of claim 18 , wherein the ATM is a first ATM, wherein the processing circuit is further structured to display, by the input/output device, an indication on the user interface regarding a comprise score of a second ATM, and wherein the second ATM is closer in proximity to the first ATM than a third ATM is to the first ATM.
