Method for enabling a communication link between a mobile terminal and a receiving terminal

A server for enabling a communication link over which transaction data is transmitted between a mobile terminal and a receiving terminal the server comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the server at least to:
• store a generated unique identifier used to facilitate the enablement of the communication link;
• create a storage slot for administering the communication link, the storage slot being assigned the unique identifier and the storage slot used to store the transaction data and the unique identifier;
• and
• enable the communication link to be utilised to transmit the transaction data between the mobile terminal and the receiving terminal in response to either of the mobile terminal or the receiving terminal referencing the unique identifier to the server.

A receiving terminal configured to utilise a communication link, administered by a server, over which transaction data is transmitted between a mobile terminal and the receiving terminal, the receiving terminal comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the receiving terminal at least to:
• store a generated unique identifier used to facilitate the enablement of the communication link;
• detect, using the unique identifier, for the presence of a storage slot at the server administering the communication link, the storage slot being assigned the unique identifier and the storage slot used to store the transaction data;
• and
• access the communication link to transmit the transaction data between the mobile terminal and the receiving terminal by referencing the unique identifier to the server.
