Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method for performing electronic transactions in a network comprising a mobile subscriber terminal with a digital wallet and a browser, a server for the management of the transactions and a content provider. In the method, the subscriber selects a service and sends an order request to the content provider. As a reply, the content provider sends a transaction order form to the mobile subscriber. The subscriber then confirms the transaction and sends the transaction order form to the browser. The browser reads data needed for the transaction form from the digital wallet and fills in the order form with the read transaction data. The completed form is then sent o the server, which converts the completed form into a standardized transaction format. The content provider processes the completed order form and sends it to the content provider, who replies to the subscriber. The invention is also concerned with said network.
