Patent ID: 8905298

Claim:
A method of processing a money transfer comprising: providing a money transfer system comprising a money transfer terminal, an imaging device, a host computer system, and a decision maker terminal; receiving, at the money transfer terminal, financial transaction information from a user relating to a money transfer requested by the user; acquiring, with the imaging device, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of the user; receiving, at the money transfer terminal from the imaging device, the MRI image; presenting, with the money transfer terminal, a question to the user regarding the money transfer; receiving, at the money transfer terminal from the imaging device, a first additional MRI image of the user prior to presentation of the question, a second additional MRI image of the user during presentation of the question, and a third additional MRI image of the user after presentation of the question; transmitting, from the money transfer terminal to the host computer system, the financial transaction information and the MRI image; transmitting, from the money transfer terminal to the host computer system, the first additional MRI image, the second additional MRI image, and the third additional MRI image; retrieving, by the host computer system, MRI imaging information associated with a previous financial transaction by the user; transmitting, from the host computer system to the decision-maker terminal, the financial transaction information, the MRI image, and the MRI imaging information associated with the previous financial transaction; transmitting, from the host computer system to the decision-maker terminal, the first additional MRI image, the second additional MRI image, and the third additional MRI image; evaluating, with the decision-maker terminal, the financial transaction information; comparing, with the decision-maker terminal, the MRI image with the MRI imaging information associated with the previous financial transaction; determining, with the decision-maker terminal, based at least in part on the evaluation of the financial transaction information and the comparison of the MRI image with the MRI imaging information associated with the previous financial transaction, whether to approve the money transfer, wherein determining, with the decision-maker terminal, whether to approve the money transfer is further based at least in part on a comparison between at least two of the first additional MRI image, the second additional MRI image, or the third additional MRI image; transmitting, from the decision-maker terminal to the host computer system, an indication of whether the money transfer is approved; and transmitting, from the host computer system to the money transfer terminal, the indication of whether the money transfer is approved.
