Abstract
A method for beacon device-based customer notifications is provided. The method is implemented by a computing device including a processor. The method includes receiving, from a beacon device, a beacon device advertisement that includes a universally unique identifier (UUID), a major identifier, and a minor identifier. The method also includes identifying, based on at least one of the UUID, the major identifier, and the minor identifier, that the beacon device is associated with an agent location, where the agent location is corresponds to a bill payment and money transfer facility. The method further includes generating a payment notification for display on the computing device, where the payment notification includes payment data and agent location data, receiving, from a user, an instruction to prepare to make a payment at the agent location, and causing the agent location to stage the payment for completion by the user.
