Abstract

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.
