receiving, by a provider computing system associated with a provider, a cash back request including a cash back amount from a point of sale computing system associated with the purchase transaction, the provider computing system acting as an intermediary computing system between the point of sale computing system and the linked ATM;
in response to receiving the cash back request, creating, by the provider computing system, an authentication passcode;
