Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0141093A1] A merchant selling goods or services is able to receive payment from a purchaser by using the merchant's mobile telephone to connect to a server and enter credit card details of the purchaser. The server then uses these details to connect to a financial institution to authorise the payment to the merchant whose details are already stored in the server. Equally, the payment can be made to the merchant using the mobile telephone of the purchaser if the merchant has been pre-registered. In a second embodiment, a purchaser wishing to make an on-line purchase via the Internet is prompted to dial a number using their mobile telephone. Once they have dialed the number, the user is prompted to enter their credit card details which are again used to authorise payment from a financial institution to the owner of the Internet website. The advantage of this is that all the credit card information is passed out of the Internet band and over the more secure GSM telecommunications network.
