Systems and Methods of Rules-Based Database Access For Account Authentication

摘要

Systems and methods for authenticating a customer association with a particular deposit account used when conducting financial transactions on behalf of the customer. The system receives identity information and routing and transit number or account number (RTN/DDA) information, where at least a portion of identity information identifies an account holder and at least a portion of the RTN/DDA information identifies a deposit account. A selection of numerous databases used to authenticate an association between the deposit account and the account holder is made based on one or more criteria. A database is then accessed according to the selection; and an association between the deposit account and the account holder is authenticated using the received identity information and RTN/DDA information and the selected database.
