Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for facilitating peer-to-peer payment transactions using mobile devices. According to certain embodiments, a financial account for providing funds for a payment transaction is determined. User input including a payment amount for the payment transaction is received and a QR code that represents the payment amount is generated. The QR code is displayed on the display of a mobile device for purposes of scanning and processing by a second mobile device.
Claims13
A method for completing a transaction using a mobile device comprising a processor and a camera, comprising:
- configuring, by the processor, the camera to scan one or more QR codes;
- scanning, by the camera, a QR code, wherein the QR code comprises data representing a payment transaction, a transaction token generated by another mobile device that has determined that additional security is to be used in the payment transaction, identification information associated with a user of a source of funds, and an application identifier associated with an application used to generate or display the QR code;
- determining, by the processor, that the scanning of the QR code is completed;
- displaying, on a display associated with the mobile device, a notification that the scanning of the QR code is completed;
- transmitting, by the processor, the scanned QR code to the server with an indication that the transmitted QR code with the data representing the payment transaction and the transaction token has been scanned;
- and
- receiving, via the processor, a confirmation notification from the server that the transaction token was validated and the payment transaction was approved.
A mobile device, comprising:
- a display;
- a camera;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- configure, by the processor, the camera to scan one or more QR codes;
- scan, by the camera, a QR code, wherein the QR code comprises data representing a payment transaction, a transaction token generated by another mobile device that has determined that additional security is to be used in the payment transaction, identification information associated with a user of a source of funds, and an application identifier associated with an application used to generate or display the QR code;
- determine, by the processor, that the scanning of the QR code is completed;
- display a notification that the scanning of the QR code is completed on the display;
- transmit, by the processor, the scanned QR code to the server with an indication that the transmitted QR code with the data representing the payment transaction and the transaction token has been scanned;
- and
- receive, via the processor, a confirmation notification from the server that the transaction token was validated and the payment transaction was approved.
