  • Publication number: 20130198066
    Abstract: A fraud protection application can allow a user to safely purchase goods without a physical account verifier such as a credit card. These types of purchases are common when purchasing items online and also when making NFC purchases. The purchaser can install a Fraud Prevention Application on a device that can recognize that the purchaser is using their device to make a purchase making a transaction. The application can initiate an independent connection with the financial institution's server and submit to the server verification data to validate the purchase. In response, the server can compare the data with identification data previously submitted by that purchaser's device and also with transaction data submitted by the merchant. If the verification data is validated then the server can approve the purchase and the transaction may proceed. If the verification data is not validated then the FPA can cause refuse the transaction.
