    Abstract: A system for and a method of performing interactive data exchange, for example, as part of a financial transaction, between a user base and a communications network, provides a financial account associated with the user as part of the network infrastructure. The system includes a request data input device. A communications network is connected to the device for transmitting the request data to the network. At the user base there is also provided a receiver for receiving response signals from the network and which signals include encoded response data. A signal decoder is provided at the user base to decode the response data. A display displays the response data interactively with the request data.
