Abstract: Mobile payments to Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals, kiosks, vending systems etc. as well as mobile banking are increasingly common due to the electronic devices available. However, fraud is an ongoing issue. Embodiments of the invention support increased security by applying processes which allow for easy and secure development of financial transaction services and equipment. Accordingly, the location of the consumer performing the financial transaction is included within the process. Embodiments include a consumer being physically present to authorise irrespective of authorisation of their credentials, a consumer may establish preferred locations for transactions, a retailer and consumer may perform the transaction once the consumer has left the retail location through stored location data of the user's device. Embodiments of the invention also support financial transactions without a direct PoS transaction as the user's device and the PoS terminal broker the transaction in the cloud using location data.
