  • Publication number: 20110213707
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may provide systems and methods for facilitating person-to-person payments. A payer request to pay a payee identified by a first contact identifier is received. Upon failing to locate the payee in a data repository of registered payees via the first contact identifier, the first contact identifier is utilized to transmit a registration invitation to the payee. Information associated with the request may be stored pending registration by the payee, and the invitation may include a link to a payment service provider site and an indicator of the stored information. Based upon a payee selection of the link, the indicator and identifying information for the payee other than the first contact identifier is received. The received identifying information is utilized to determine a pre-existing registration of the payee with the payment service provider, and the stored information is utilized to direct a payment to the payee.

  • Patent number: 7770002
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for two-way authentication. In one example, a method prompts a user for an account number and a PIN. Upon authentication of the account number and the PIN, an e-mail having a link to a new session is sent to the user. If the account number and the PIN were authenticated, a custom background preselected by the user is presented in the new session and a password is requested. Use of the custom background preselected by the user may help the user authenticate the computer system to which he is attempting to gain entry. Upon authentication of the password, entry to a computer system is permitted. To provide optional, enhanced anti-phishing capability, if the account number and the PIN were not authenticated, the an indication may be made that the e-mail message is being sent.
