Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for a system to enable contactless access to a transaction terminal using a process data network. The present invention is configured to electronically receive from a transfer terminal, an indication that a user is accessing the transaction terminal using a user device; retrieve, from the user device, a unique identifier associated with the user device; compare the unique identifier with a block chain of authentication information associated with the user to determine whether the unique identifier meets a condition associated with the block chain authentication information; receive an indication that the unique identifier meets the condition of the block chain thereby validating user identity; and allow the user to access the transaction terminal based on at least receiving the indication that the unique identifier meets the condition of the block chain.
