Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for client identification and verification includes a memory device for storing data and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processor is programmed to receive merchant identification data corresponding to a merchant. The merchant identification data includes identification data relating to the identity of the merchant and a primary authorized user for the merchant. The processor is also programmed to generate a merchant profile from the merchant identification data for the merchant, and generate an activation code for the primary authorized user based on the merchant profile. The activation code is transmitted to the primary authorized user. The processor receives, from the primary authorized user, one or more biometrics of the authorized user, validates the biometrics of the authorized user, and upon validation of the biometrics, activates a merchant account.
