A computer-based network system and method for using a payment vehicle having an on and off function. The system comprises a payment vehicle comprising an on and off function to enable or to disable the payment vehicle in the computer-based network for processing an electronic payment transaction, a holder of the payment vehicle, and a computer payment network wherein the computer payment network comprises a transaction engine for enabling or for disabling the payment vehicle at a request of the holder of the payment vehicle.

Payment vehicle with on and off function

Association of personal, financial, and/or business-related identification information with a mobile communication device (MCD) is provided for herein. For example, an MCD can be associated with a financial account and can further include an identification component that verifies an identity of a user of the MCD. Identity can be verified by biometric analysis (e.g., finger/thumb print scan), username and password, optical feature scan, or a combination thereof or of like mechanisms, for instance. Accordingly, the claimed subject matter provides a mechanism to verify identification of a user of an MCD and incorporate user ID into remote data exchange, including remote financial transactions, with one or more networked devices.

Mobile electronic wallet

A computer system and method for enabling or disabling a payment vehicle at the request of a payment card holder from a remote device. The computer system comprises a computer having memory and a processor for processing input data received from a remote device. The input data comprises an instruction executable by the processor in a form of a text message or electronic mail received from the remote device, with the instruction to enable or disable a payment card of a payment card holder by changing the status of the payment card. An interactive remote interface computer software application is provided to the payment card holder for use on the remote or other device.

Provided is relative multifactor authentication for interactions between users and one or more entities. Relative multifactor authentication includes monitoring a set of attributes associated with a user during an interaction between the user and the entity. The set of attributes include at least two of a behavioral attribute, a health attribute, a geospatial attribute, and a device attribute. Relative multifactor authentication also include comparing respective parameters of attributes of the set of attributes with expected parameters and determining an authentication status based on the comparison and weighted values assigned to respective attributes of the set of attributes. The user is selectively authenticated to begin to continue the interaction based on the authentication status.

Relative and dynamic multifactor authentication

In an example, a method for implementing gamification in user interface transactions of a customer financial transaction device such as an automatic teller machine (ATM) or kiosk may be provided to improve security and enable enhanced electronic display and user interface features. In one example, the electronic operations for implementing gamification may include associated actions in a user interface transaction screen with defined gamification functions, receiving and evaluating input in the user interface transaction screen, and enabling or performing certain transaction actions based on an expected gamification action. In further examples, the gamification may be implemented based on themes for the user interface that match entertainment themes, individual games, or customizations to graphical and text content established by the user.
