Securing a cardless ATM authentication through position detection

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• transmitting, by a user device, an instruction for a transaction to a kiosk;
• receiving, by the user device, a first signal, from a first direction, from a transmitting device communicatively coupled to the kiosk;
• and
• transmitting, by the user device, a second signal, in a second direction, to a receiving device communicatively coupled to the kiosk, wherein the transmitting device and receiving device are positioned to enable the kiosk to determine a position of the user device when the user device receives the first signal from the first direction and transmits the second signal in the second direction,
• wherein the kiosk executes the transaction based on the instruction in response to determining the position of the user device.

A system comprising:

• a kiosk comprising a processor configured to perform a transaction based on instructions received from a user device;
• a transmitting device communicatively coupled to the kiosk, the transmitting device configured to transmit a first signal to the user device in a first direction;
• and
• a receiving device communicatively coupled to the kiosk, the receiving device configured to:
• receive a second signal transmitted from the user device from a second direction, wherein the transmitting device and receiving device are positioned to enable the kiosk, by the processor, to determine a position of the user device when the user device receives the first signal from the first direction and transmits the second signal in the second direction;
• and
• execute the transaction based on the instructions in response to determining the position of the user device.
