Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for performing social network secure transactions is provided. A message with a hashtag associated with a recipient of payment and payment information including at least a payment source for a payment from a payor to a recipient is received. The message is intercepted from the social network platform for transfer to a separate payment platform. The payment information of the payor is validated and the recipient associated with the hashtag is identified using the list of recipients. The payment information is processed on behalf of the recipient associated with the hashtag using the payment source in the message from the payor.

A computer-implemented system for performing social network secure transactions, comprising:
- a database configured to store a list of recipients each associated with at least one hashtag;
- a server comprising a central processing unit, memory, an input port configured to receive the list of recipients from the database, and an output port, wherein the central processing unit is configured to:
- receive a message with a hashtag associated with one of the recipients and payment information comprising at least a payment source for payment from a payor to the recipient via a social network platform;
- intercept the message from the social network platform and transfer the payor from the social network platform directly to a separate payment platform upon interception of the message;
- validate the payment information of the payor;
- identify the recipient associated with the hashtag using the list of recipients;
- and
- process the payment information on behalf of the recipient associated with the hashtag using the payment source in the message from the payor.
