Disclosed are methods and systems for providing physical verification for an online check-in process. The system and method provides an application at a merchant terminal by which a user at the merchant can check-in to an online application, such as through an near-field communication or NFC chip. A remote automated transaction system receives users' check-in information and in turn can transmit that information to a social network computer system, whereby the user's status is automatically updated with at least some of the transmitted check-in information.

Physical verification for online check-in

Disclosed is a mobile platform that enables unique tap-and-connect transaction processing and settlement, which allows consumers, merchants, financial institutions and other third parties to strengthen their relationships through a local transaction network that offers more efficient transaction processing and settlement for reduced per-transaction cost and risk management costs and increased security.

Automated transaction system and settlement processes

Described herein are networks and related devices and methods for facilitating the electronic transfer of funds and electronic purchases between consumers, merchants, and other parties. Also facilitated by the principles described herein is the electronic transfer of funds or payments between individuals. The disclosed principles provide for the funds of a user's account to never leave his original financial account until the financial transaction takes place. Thus, no special accounts within the payment system are required to be opened, maintained, or funded by a user. Instead, funds are simply transferred to or from a user's associated financial account by the financial institution maintaining that account and in accordance with instructions from the network. Thus, the present disclosure provides for fund transfers and purchases between parties in a secure, efficient, and the user-friendly manner. The disclosed principles provide for such transactions using, in some embodiments, portable devices, which may be dedicated devices associated with the disclosed network, or available consumer devices configured to operate with the network.
