Method and system for integrating biometric data with transaction data

A method for distributing a linked consumer profile, comprising:

• storing, in a database, a plurality of consumer profiles, wherein each consumer profile includes data related to a consumer including at least a consumer identifier associated with the related consumer, a plurality of consumer characteristics, and a plurality of transaction data entries, each transaction data entry corresponding to a payment transaction involving the related consumer;
• receiving, by a receiving device, a consumer profile request, wherein the consumer profile request includes at least a specific consumer identifier;
• identifying, in the database, a specific consumer profile where the included consumer identifier corresponds to the specific consumer identifier;
• transmitting, by a transmitting device, a request for biometric data, wherein the request for biometric data includes at least a predefined number of the plurality of consumer characteristics included in the identified specific consumer profile;
• receiving, by the receiving device, biometric data;
• including, in the database, the received biometric data in the identified specific consumer profile;
• and
• transmitting, by the transmitting device, the specific consumer profile including the received biometric data in response to the received consumer profile request.

A system for linking biometric data to transaction history, comprising:

• a database configured to store a plurality of consumer profiles, wherein each consumer profile includes data related to a consumer including at least a plurality of consumer characteristics and a plurality of transaction data entries, each transaction data entry corresponding to a payment transaction involving the related consumer;
• a receiving device configured to receive a biometric profile, wherein the biometric profile includes biometric data associated with a specific consumer and a plurality of demographic characteristics associated with the specific consumer;
• and
• a processing device configured to
• identify at least one consumer profile of the plurality of consumer profiles where at least a predefined number of the included plurality of consumer characteristics correspond to the plurality of demographic characteristics, and
• associate, in the database, each of the identified at least one consumer profile with the biometric data included in the received biometric profile.

• a processing device configured to identify, in the database, a specific consumer profile where the included consumer identifier corresponds to the specific consumer identifier;
• and
• a transmitting device configured to transmit a request for biometric data, wherein the request for biometric data includes at least a predefined the plurality of consumer characteristics included in the identified specific consumer profile, wherein
• the receiving device is further configured to receive biometric data,
• the processing device is further configured to include, in the database, the received biometric data in the identified specific consumer profile, and
• the transmitting device is further configured to transmit the specific consumer profile including the received biometric data in response to the received consumer profile request.
