Disclosed is a system and associated method of using a customer's mobile device as an online banking remote control for another customer device. The system typically includes a processor, a memory, and an online banking module stored in the memory. The module is typically configured for (i) associating the mobile device with the customer's online banking account and (ii) binding the mobile device to another computing device. In addition, the module is typically configured for subsequently receiving a remote access command associated with the customer's online banking account and associated with the computing device from the mobile device. The remote access of the computing device to the customer's online banking account can then be modified based on the remote access command and determining that (i) the mobile device is associated with the customer's online banking account and (ii) the mobile device is bound to the computing device.

Remote control for online banking

Disclosed is a system and associated method for restricting access to a customer's online banking account. The system typically includes a processor, a memory, and an online banking module stored in the memory. The module is typically configured for determining that a computing device has initiated a first online banking transaction associated with the customer's online banking account. If the first online banking transaction is within a first restricted transaction definition and if the computing device is not enrolled with the customer's online banking account, geographic location information associated with the computing device and geographic location information associated with a first mobile device enrolled with the customer's account are received. The module determines whether the location of the computing device is proximate to a predefined location and/or whether the location of the computing device is proximate to the location of the first mobile device.

Restricted access to online banking

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing an offline mobile banking system. An exemplary apparatus is configured to: provide, at a mobile device, a transaction request, determine a connection is not established between the mobile device and a device associated with the financial institution, store the transaction request in response to determining a connection has not been established, establish a connection between the mobile device and a server associated with the financial institution, and communicate the stored transaction request from the mobile device to a device associated with the financial institution.

Offline mobile banking system

Access to an on-line account management system is facilitated. A request is received to perform a first action using an on-line account management system. The request comprises a first access identifier. A global party identifier associated with the first access identifier is determined. Restriction information associated with the first access identifier and the global party identifier is accessed from a global party profile operable to store at least one of a time-based, a location-based, and a device-based restriction associated with actions capable of being performed using the on-line account management system. A processor determines whether the first action is permissible based on the restriction information associated with the first access identifier and the global party identifier.

Management of access identifiers

According to an embodiment, a system is provided comprising a memory and a processor. The memory may be operable to store a master image associated with a user account. The master image may comprise an image of a physical, non-living object. The processor may be coupled to the memory and may be operable to receive a request to perform a transaction associated with the user account. The processor may be further operable to receive an image that is scanned in real-time in conjunction with the request to perform the transaction. The processor may be further operable to compare the scanned image with the master image associated with the user account and to perform the transaction if the scanned image is substantially similar to the master image.
