Some embodiments may provide a method comprising receiving an identification of an entity from a network-based commerce system and receiving authentication data associated with the entity from the network-based commerce system, a combination including the authentication data and the identification being operable to facilitate a transfer of value affecting a first account associated with the entity, the transfer of value further affecting a second account associated with the network-based commerce system, the authentication data and the identification of the entity being insufficient for the network-based commerce system to identify the first account.

A phone-based electronic wallet providing authenticated transactions across multiple channels of commerce. The electronic wallet may be used for point-of-sale payments, remote mobile payments and/or web-based payments, and may use authentication tools such as offline PINs, SecureCode PINs and/or online PINs.

A method of validating a user for accessing a secure system comprising selecting a picture that is prompted to the user, generating, through the user, an intelligent voice print in regards to the selected picture, matching the intelligent voice print associated with the selected picture to a stored authentication voice print and picture pair, authenticating the user when the intelligent voice print is matched to within a predetermined voice tolerance, verifying a textual component of the intelligent voice print to within a predetermined textual tolerance, validating the authenticating and the verifying of the user, and receiving access to the secure system based on the validating of the user against the stored intelligent voice print and picture pair.

A user device configured to connect to a mobile telephony network and associated with an identification number in the mobile telephony network. The user device selects a method of paying for the shopping basket on a first page of the merchant server; upon selection, the user device sends a payment request to a payment validation module, which is enriched with identification data of the user device; the user device receives a local authentication request message from the payment validation module over the mobile telephony network; on receiving the local authentication request message, the user device triggers execution of an operation of locally authenticating a user of the user device; the user device sends a local authentication response message to the payment validation module; and the user device is redirected by the payment validation module to a second page of the merchant server giving the result of the payment transaction.

An automated teller machine includes a near-field communication (“NFC”) device, a networking interface configured to communicate data via a network, a display device configured to present information to a customer, and an input/output device configured to exchange data with the customer. The automated teller machine further includes a processing circuit including a processor and a memory, the memory structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor. The instructions cause the processing circuit to establish an NFC session with a mobile device of the customer, the mobile device having a mobile wallet, the mobile wallet including an inactive payment token representing a payment card held by the customer. The instructions further cause the processing circuit to receive at least one authentication credential relating to the payment card from the customer, verify the at least one authentication credential, and activate the inactive payment token.

A method for parameterising a device for performing banking operations in which biometric data of the holder of the device for performing banking operations are used to authenticate the user of the device. The present invention: activates a plurality of commands using identifiers of a standard relating to banking transactions available for effecting commands not predefined by the standard; creates, from an identifier of the standard relating to banking transactions available for effecting commands not predefined by the standard, in the device for performing banking operations, a container able to store reference biometric data of a user of the device for performing banking operations; and stores reference biometric data, using an identifier of the standard relating to banking transactions available for effecting commands not predefined by the standard, in the container of reference biometric data of the user of the device for performing banking operations.

Embodiments of the invention include a method of performing a payment transaction comprising receiving transaction data by a PIN pad terminal from a point-of-sale terminal, and receiving tender from a customer, by the PIN pad terminal. Tender data and the transaction data are sent to a service gateway, by the PIN pad terminal. The service gateway collects metadata from the tender data and the transaction data. The tender data is sent by the PIN pad terminal to the point-of-sale terminal, which sends the tender data and the transaction data to a merchant gateway for approval or denial of the tender data. The tender data sent to the POS may be encrypted. The service gateway may provide customer and merchant analytics based on the metadata, as well as perform security/fraud checks, BIN management, PIN pad management. Systems are also disclosed.

A Mobile Image Payment System for mobile commerce, which enables a Consumer to use a mobile device to make payments for online, Electronic Media, Print Media and POS Transactions, involving the presentment of a short code. In an embodiment, the Consumer scans the short code that is displayed by a merchant, to initiate a transaction. The system completes the transaction by processing information between a Mobile Payment Client residing on the Consumer's mobile device, a Mobile Payment interface residing on a Transaction Server, and, in a further embodiment, a Mobile Payment Application residing on a merchant's device or POS terminal. The Consumer's mobile device communicates with a Payment Platform, which communicates with a Merchant Transaction Server in order to process and complete the mobile transaction. The short code of the merchant can be displayed on any product or advertising medium.

Universal cards are used in place of all the other traditional cards which a person may want to carry. The universal card can include a short range communications transceiver to communicate with a mobile device. The mobile device can include a user interface and an e-wallet application so that the user can interface with the e-wallet application for programming the universal card via the short range communication link. Once programmed, the universal card emulates a function of a traditional card.

Disclosed is a system which enables a consumer to make payment during e-commerce or m-commerce transactions, by entering a PIN when EMV contactless and a verification is required for the card holder, by scanning (tap) the card to a mobile application without sharing card information and a method thereof.
