Abstract: A method and system provide interoperable electronic financial services using mobile communications devices and without the need for traditional banking systems like plastic cards, POS machines, branches and ATMs. A consumer can deposit and/or withdraw money from his account using his mobile device and with the help of a local agent without ever stepping inside a branch of a bank where the consumer has an account. The system uses the consumers ID and his mobile number to generate a PAN for the consumer, which is then used to route the transactions. The system uses indicators in the transaction to identify transaction purpose and thus enable appropriate interchange, clearing and settlement between participating entities. The system provides real-time feedback on the transactions and reduces costs by enabling an agent to service consumers of multiple banks and payment service providers.

Abstract: A mobile tangible value banking system is disclosed. A mobile tangible value banking system enables a consumer entity to make a withdrawal from or deposit to their bank account by physically exchanging tangible value with a banking agent and correspondingly verifying the deposit or withdrawal using a mobile device. The consumer entity and the banking agent may be mobile and free to meet in a predetermined location, which may allow banking services to enter remote areas of emerging markets.
