Systems and methods for confirming an identity of an individual, for example, at a locker bank

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:

• receiving, from an individual at a locker bank computing device, a request to retrieve a parcel from a particular locker bank, the parcel having a consignee and currently being stored in a particular locker at the particular locker bank, the particular locker having an interior storage volume;
• retrieving one or more pieces of package level detail information associated with the parcel;
• determining whether at least a threshold number of one or more pieces of identifying information associated with the individual are substantially similar to the one or more pieces of package level detail information associated with the one or more parcels;
• confirming an identity of the individual as an individual authorized to retrieve the parcel, wherein confirming the identity comprises:
• obtaining an individual's mobile phone number and utilizing the individual's mobile phone number to obtain a current physical location of the individual's mobile phone, wherein the current physical location of the individual's mobile phone is compared to the location of the particular locker;
• confirming the identity of the individual and associating the one or more parcels with the identity of the individual;
• and
• facilitating a release of the parcel from the interior storage volume of the particular locker, wherein facilitating the release of the parcel from the particular locker to the individual comprises substantially automatically unlocking a secure door of the particular locker containing the parcel to provide the individual with access to the interior storage volume of the particular locker such that the individual can access and retrieve the parcel.

A computer system for facilitating release of a parcel to a consignee comprising:

• at least one processor, wherein the computer system is configured for:
• receiving, from the consignee at a locker bank computing device, a request to retrieve the parcel from the particular locker bank, the parcel being associated with the consignee and currently being stored in a particular locker at the particular locker bank, each of the lockers within the particular locker bank having an internal storage volume;
• retrieving one or more pieces of package level detail information associated with the parcel;
• determining, based at least in part on the one or more pieces of package level detail, whether the consignee is a subscribed consignee having a consignee account associated with a carrier responsible for handling the parcel;
• automatically confirming an identity of the consignee if the consignee is a subscribed consignee;
• if the consignee is an unsubscribed consignee, prompting the unsubscribed consignee to provide identification;
• receiving, the identification from the unsubscribed consignee, wherein the identification comprises receiving identifying information regarding a current location of the unsubscribed consignee's mobile device and using the current location of the unsubscribed consignee's mobile device to confirm the unsubscribed consignee is at the particular locker bank location and is authorized to retrieve the parcel;
• determining whether at least a threshold number of one or more pieces of identifying information associated with the unsubscribed consignee are substantially similar to one or more pieces of package level detail information associated with the one or more parcels;
• confirming the identity of the unsubscribed consignee;
• associating the one or more parcels with the identity of the unsubscribed consignee;
• and
• facilitating, a release of the parcel from the internal storage volume of the particular locker, wherein facilitating the release of the parcel from the particular locker to the unsubscribed consignee comprises automatically unlocking a secure door of the particular locker containing the parcel to provide the unsubscribed consignee access to the one or more parcels.
