An electric vehicle charging system includes a housing, an electric vehicle supply circuit disposed within the housing and constructed and arranged to provide power to an electric vehicle from a power source, and a storage connector movably attached to the housing and configured to engage an electric vehicle charging connector. The storage connector may be configured to rotate between a first position to hold the charging connector to the housing and a second position for insertion/removal of the charging connector. The storage connector may be configured to engage a latch on the electric vehicle charging connector to hold the charging connector to the storage connector.
摘要:
Most financial transactions involving check deposits and cashing at automatic teller machines are often associated with high risk. Although conventional security measures for many automatic teller machines record financial transactions, the recorded events are typically viewed after suspicious or criminal activity has already occurred. Therefore, a financial institution may not know in advance whether requested financial transactions are of suspicious or fraudulent intent. The present teachings relate to a method of scoring customers prior to authorization in a manner so as to identify suspicious behavior or suspicious activity. The method also relates to marking suspicious individuals by storing related transaction information, such as biometric data, in a database for purposes of verifying identification information and scoring the validity of future financial transactions.

Systems and methods are described for using a point-of-sale device at a check-cashing entity to obtain information about one or more authenticating marks, such as watermarks, bar codes, background patterns, color schemes, insignia, security validation numbers, or the like, from a second-party check or other negotiable instrument presented for a proposed check-cashing transaction. In various embodiments, the authenticating mark information may be compared to stored information about expected configurations of authenticating marks as part of a risk assessment of the check. In various embodiments, the point-of-sale device transmits authenticating mark information to a check authorization system. The point-of-sale device may receive an accept/decline recommendation for the transaction from the check authorization system, based at least in part on the obtained authenticating mark information. The point-of-sale device may display a message about the recommendation to an operator of the device.
摘要:
Systems and methods are described for building, maintaining, and using a repository of information about payors of second-party checks presented at a check-cashing entity for cashing. In various embodiments, the repository comprises stored information useful for determining the location of a payor of a second-party check. In one embodiment, information from the check that identifies an account on which the check is drawn, such as magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line information from a paycheck, is used to access a repository of employer location information. In one embodiment, the payor location information is used to determine a proximity between the payor location and the check cashing entity location. In one embodiment, when a check is presented for which stored payor location information is not available, identifying information about the payor and/or the payor location is requested and is added to the repository.

Systems and methods are described for using a point-of-sale device to obtain information about a payor of a second-party check or other negotiable instrument presented for a proposed check-cashing transaction. In various embodiments, a keyboard, touchscreen, voice input system or other input system is used to enter information about a payor of a second-party check, which may comprise, for example, payor name, payor bank account identifier, payor location information, and the like. The payor information may be used to determine the proximity of the payor to the location of the proposed check-cashing transaction. In various embodiments, the point-of-sale device transmits the payor information to a check authorization system for a risk assessment of the transaction. In some embodiments, the point-of-sale device may prompt an operator or a check presenter to enter payor information in response to a request from the check authorization system. In various embodiments, the point-of-sale device may receive an accept/decline recommendation for the transaction from the check authorization system, based at least in part on the obtained payor information.
摘要:
The present invention includes transaction processing systems that process transactions from merchant systems designed to convert the presentation of a transponder device into electronic debits from a checking account. The transaction processing systems also can provide risk assessment, validation or user data and/or MICR data, and/or transaction guarantee services.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for processing check data, such as data stored using magnetic indicia. In one embodiment, a check transaction processing system receives an indication that a first check transaction from a first payor failed to clear because at least a portion of first MICR or other account data associated with the first check transaction is incorrect. The check transaction processing system reads a personal identifier associated with the first payor, wherein the personal identifier was provided in association with the first check transaction. MICR data or other account data associated with a previously processed check transaction associated with the personal identifier is located. At least a portion of the located MICR or other account data is compared with at least the portion of first MICR or other account data associated with the first check transaction, and based at least in part on the comparison, the check transaction processing system determines if the portion of the located data is at least a potentially correct version of the portion of first MICR or other account data.
摘要:
The present invention includes a merchant system that recognizes virtually any payment device or technology that uses electronic check processing as a payment mechanism. For example, the merchant system associates presentation of the payment device with information used to electronically debit a checking account, such as MICR data, and submits the same to a transaction processor capable of settling electronic debit transactions.
