1. A method of delivering a targeted information to an interface of a computing device, comprising:
receiving financial transaction data and a unique consumer identification code (UCIC) from an export system of a financial institution, wherein the financial transaction data is associated with the UCIC, and wherein the UCIC and the financial transaction data do not contain information that is traceable to the identity of a consumer;
creating, by one or more processors, an information delivery identification code (ADIC), wherein the UCIC and the ADIC are anonymous codings, and wherein the ADIC is linked to the UCIC for the consumer by the one or more processors;
associating, by one or more processors, the ADIC with the UCIC received from the financial institution and the financial transaction data associated with the UCIC, wherein the ADIC and UCIC are associated in an information delivery provider database;
associating, by the one or more processors, the ADIC with a unique identifier associated with a computing device used by the consumer as a result of the computing device logging into to the financial institution's computer system;
receiving one or more target consumer criteria for identifying recipients of a targeted information;
identifying, by the one or more processors, a recipient of the targeted information by matching the financial transaction data with the one or more target consumer criteria, wherein the recipient is identified using at least one of the ADIC and the UCIC;
detecting, by the one or more processors, the unique identifier associated with the computing device; and
delivering the targeted information to an interface of the computing device upon detection of the unique identifier;
wherein the step of associating the ADIC with the unique identifier comprises receiving the unique identifier from the computing device and associating the ADIC with the unique identifier; and
wherein the ADIC is a hashed address of the computing device.
