Abstract: A system and method for managing personal and financial information is provided. The method involves: receiving financial transaction information for a purchase of the user, together with at least one attribute associated with the financial transaction information; storing the financial transaction information in association with the at least one attribute; and making the financial transaction information available for use under the control of the user. The attribute may be a financial account identifier, a financial account type, a purchase type or a purchase identifier. The method may also involve receiving a purchase location attribute defining a location for the purchase; determining a current location associated with a user mobile device using a global positioning system; and transmitting, if the purchase location attribute does not match the current location, a message to the mobile device for fraud detection purposes.
