  • Publication number: 20140222675
    Abstract: A method for enabling the transfer of currency between two parties that is comprised of an electronic application through which a receiver specifies the amount of money requested on a device, the device relays this information to a web server, which organizes this information and sends it to a central database which generates a unique transaction ID that is sent back to the web server and back to the device. The device translates this ID into a QR code, the payer scans the QR code, their device passes the ID through a web server and security filters for verification, routes the request to a central database, and executes the requested transfer without compromising the identities of either party. The application can be run on any compatible electronic platform and implements varying security verification techniques based on user preference.
