Abstract
Access controls for transferring funds from a customer to a designated recipient using a transaction machine and a one-time account and/or an authentication process that does not involve the use of a transaction card are disclosed. An example method (and system) can include storing identification data associated with a one-time account or transfer for the designated recipient of the one-time account; receiving authentication data from the transaction machine; determining that the user corresponds to the designated recipient using the received authentication data and the stored identification data; and executing the selected transaction after the determination.

- receive authentication data from a transaction machine, the authentication data containing information pertaining to a user of the transaction machine, the authentication data including a selection of a social media entry from a group of social media entries;
- determine that the user corresponds to the designated recipient using the received authentication data and the stored identification data, the determining comprising determining that the selected social media entry matches the particular social media entry;
- based on the determination that the user corresponds to the designated recipient, present one or more available transactions for the funds in the one-time account;
