The SCB-O 12 then verifies the ID number and password provided by the user 14 1 to ensure that the user is currently registered with the system 10 and has an active status.
- the SCB-O 12 contacts the bank 16 1 to which user 14 1 belongs to fetch the user's banking details as well as to request at 204 either a fund transfer from the financial account of user 14 1 to a financial account held by the SCB-O 12 in the same bank 16 1 or alternatively a fund holding from the financial account of user 14 1 for subsequent settlement with the SCB-O 12 .
- the bank 16 1 Upon receiving this request, the bank 16 1 (after contacting the user 14 1 , 14 2 via the extra integration system 45 to confirm, change, or cancel the transaction order, as mentioned herein above) either accepts or refuses the transaction and, upon approval of the latter, processes (using for example a suitable workstation, not shown) and confirms the transaction to the SCB-O 12 at 206 .
- the SCB-O 12 then contacts the financial institution 16 2 to which user 14 2 belongs (after having ensured that user 14 2 is currently registered within the system 10 ) to issue an order to debit the SCB-O financial account and credit the financial account of user 14 2 .
- the financial institution 16 2 instead deposits the funds in the financial account of user 14 2 and subsequently requests settlement from the SCB-O 12 .
- bank 16 2 sends at 210 a confirmation message of success (or alternatively failure) to the SCB-O 12 , which subsequently reports the confirmation to both users 14 1 , 14 2 at 212 and 214 respectively.
- the need for a correspondent financial account held by the SCB-O 12 can be alleviated and the fund transfer transaction described herein above may be processed directly between the banks 16 1 and 16 2 by moving funds from the sender's account to the receiver's account over the network 54 .
- the SCB-O 12 solely forwards the fund transfer requests and transaction confirmation message.
- the system 10 enables users as in 14 1 , 14 2 to access a SC-ATM 20 connected to the SCB-system 10 .

- 3G third generation
- a user 14 1 requesting the use of a particular SC-ATM 20 illustratively connects to the SCB-O 12 at 202 in order to have access to the SC-ATM 20 .
- the SCB-O 12 verifies the identity of user 14 1 and upon positive authentication, the IVR system 28 within the SCB-O 12 queries the user 14 1 for the ID number 74 of the SC-ATM 20 .
- the SCB-O then connects the user 14 1 to the specific SC-ATM 20 at 216 by opening via the intercom 76 and camera 78 and for a predetermined time interval a live visual and vocal channel connection (may be recorded for security and legal purposes) between the user 14 1 and the SC-ATM 20 .
- the user 14 1 then initiates a transaction, such as a request for withdrawal of banknotes, from the SC-ATM 20 .
- a transaction such as a request for withdrawal of banknotes
- the SC-ATM 20 belongs to the bank 16 1 , to which user 14 1 is affiliated
- the SCB-O 12 connects to the bank 16 1 at 204 to request approval of the transaction, upon which approval the financial account of user 14 1 is debited and the money presented to the user 14 1 via the SC-ATM 20 in a conventional manner.
- the SCB-O 12 illustratively connects to the bank 16 2 at 208 to request the financial transaction and, upon completion thereof, the bank 16 2 requests a financial settlement from the SCB-O 12 corresponding to the monetary amount disbursed.
- a confirmation message that the transaction was successfully completed (or alternatively failed) is then sent at 212 to the user 14 1 .
- the IVR system 28 illustratively similarly queries the user 14 1 for the ID number (SPM identifier) of the SCSPM 22 associated with the SIM chip 72 integrated therein.
- the SCB-O Upon entry of the requested ID number, the SCB-O then connects the user 14 1 to the specific SC-ATM 20 at 216 by opening via the intercom 76 and camera 78 and for a predetermined time interval a live two-way visual and vocal channel connection between the user 14 1 and the SCSPM 22 .
- the SCB-O queries and confirms the monetary amount to be paid prior to issuing an order to the bank 16 1 to transfer the requested amount to the SCSPM 22 .
- Financial settlement between the bank (not shown) the SCSPM 22 is affiliated with and the bank 16 1 is illustratively processed in a manner similar to settlements discussed herein above.
- a confirmation message that the transaction was successfully completed (or alternatively failed) is then illustratively sent to the user 14 1 .
- the SCB-system 10 of the present invention advantageously allows users as in 14 1 , 14 2 to perform direct and comprehensive bank services and cashless payments directly through their financial account without having to apply for a new bank card. Also, whereas most prior art systems require service providers to be equipped with Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals to confirm occurrence of the transaction, the present invention alleviates the need for such POS terminals to obtain confirmation. Also, the present invention overcomes security concerns by using the unique identification (e.g. mobile phone number) associated with the SIM chip of the mobile device 24 1 , 24 2 .
- POS Point-Of-Sale
- the present invention allows person-to-person transactions from any user 14 1 , 14 2 to another user 14 1 , 14 2 , even if the other user 14 1 , 14 2 is affiliated with a different bank 16 1 , 16 2 .

Description
- This application claims priority on Jordan Application No. 110/2008, filed on Mar. 9, 2008 and which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Chip Bank System and method. In particular, the system and method enable users to perform various bank operations and to acquire telecommunications services through the use of personal mobile phone with SIM chips installed thereon.
- The Internet has revolutionized the manner in which the financial services industry conducts business, in particular by providing customers with permanent accessibility through online and mobile banking business models, which alleviate the need for users to visit their correspondent financial institution. Typically, mobile banking allows customers of a bank to use their mobile devices to access banking services at anytime and from any location through a web browser or using software applications downloaded to the mobile device. Further applications, such as mobile contactless payments or fund transfer between mobile devices, are under development.
- Still, one of the main challenges with current mobile banking systems is a lack of interoperability between different technology standards. In particular, a plurality of protocols is currently being used for mobile banking, thus making it difficult for mobile banking applications to connect multiple banks to provide financial services between accounts held within different banks. Also, given the large variety of mobile devices currently on the market, it is a challenge for banks to offer mobile banking solutions on any type of device. In particular, some devices necessitate Wireless Application protocol (WAP) capabilities to have access to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the corresponding banking server, while others require installation of software applications on the mobile device (thus requiring the device to have relatively large memory capacity) or even complete replacement of the mobile device's Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card with extended function SIM cards. In addition, most prior art banking systems require service providers to be equipped with Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals to confirm the occurrence of a transaction. Other systems necessitate special chips to be integrated in the mobile devices to enable users to remotely access Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), POS terminals and the like, which are in turn equipped with SIM card readers. As a result, the complexity of the overall system is significantly increased. Moreover, strong security concerns arise as financial transactions are executed from remote locations.
- What is therefore needed, and an object of the present invention, is a simplified and efficient SIM chip banking system that enables users to control their financial and telecommunications resources from their mobile device.
- In order to address the above and other drawbacks, there is disclosed a method for enabling a user of a network enabled mobile device and having an account at a bank to effect financial transactions by directly accessing the account over a wireless network, the mobile device having associated therewith an identifier. The method comprises registering the mobile device with the bank for acquiring mobile payment capabilities, the registering comprising associating the identifier with the account, providing a system operator in communication with the bank, establishing a connection between the mobile device and the system operator, requesting a financial transaction using the account via the connection, the system operator authenticating the user through the identifier and upon authentication directing the request to the bank, and the bank communicating with the user for confirming the request prior to effecting the financial transaction.
- There is also disclosed a system for enabling a user of a network enabled mobile device and having an account at a bank to effect financial transactions by directly accessing the account over a wireless network. The mobile device has associated therewith an identifier and has been registered with the bank for acquiring mobile payment service capabilities, the registration comprising associating the identifier with the account The system comprises a system operator in communication with the bank, and a connection between the mobile device and the system operator. When the user requests a financial transaction using the account via the connection, the system operator authenticates the user through the identifier and upon authentication directs the request to the bank, the bank communicating with the user for confirming the request prior to effecting the financial transaction.
