Abstract: Systems and methods for determining identities of transaction parties are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention provides a method for determining identities of transaction parties including: capturing a transaction image of a transaction party conducting a transaction at a transaction device at the time of the transaction; associating the transaction image with transaction information generated by the transaction device; and using the transaction image to verify whether the transaction party has an authority to conduct the transaction. Preferably, the associating includes cross-referencing the transaction image with the transaction information at the time of the transaction. The transaction information can include information related to one or more of date and time of the transaction. The transaction information can also include information related to the transaction device.
