• a memory for storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the memory, configured to execute the instructions, the instructions causing the one or more processors to:

• associate a prestaged transaction from a mobile application at the UE device with the kiosk identifier;
• identify the kiosk and a location of the kiosk based on the kiosk identifier;
• receive, from the UE device, an audio segment recorded from a microphone of the UE device and time data associated with the audio segment;
• compare the audio segment with expected audio at the location of the kiosk corresponding to the time data associated with the audio segment;
• and
• instruct the kiosk on how to execute the prestaged transaction based on the comparing.

A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a user equipment (UE) device, a kiosk identifier obtained from scanning an image displayed on a kiosk using the UE device;
• associating a prestaged transaction from a mobile application at the UE device with the kiosk identifier;
• identifying the kiosk and a location of the kiosk based on the kiosk identifier;
• receiving, from the UE device, an audio segment recorded from a microphone of the UE device and time data associated with the audio segment;
• comparing the audio segment with expected audio at the location of the kiosk corresponding to the time data associated with the audio segment;
• and
• instructing the kiosk on how to execute the prestaged transaction based on the comparing.
