## Abstract

The disclosure relates to initiating and completing peer to peer payments or peer to merchant payments initiated by financial cards and cameras of mobile devices. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods may provide an accurate determination of parties involved in a peer to peer transaction, be useable with hardware and software that users are already in possession of, and securely initiate a peer to peer transaction. The disclosed systems may include a server communicatively coupled to a mobile device by a network. The server may receive an image of one or more financial cards, retrieve account information for each financial card in the received image, generate a proposed transaction based on the retrieved account information, transmit the proposed transaction to the mobile device, receive approval for the proposed transaction and initiate a payment or a transfer to an account based on the retrieved account information.

## Claims

A method comprising:
receiving, by a server and from a mobile device communicatively coupled to the server via a network, an image of a financial object, wherein the financial object is associated with a party to a transaction, wherein the server further comprises a non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions and at least one processor;
determining, by the server, account information for the party associated with the financial object based on an analysis of the image of the financial object;
generating, by the server, at least one proposed transaction including parameters for the proposed transaction based on the determined account information;
transmitting, by the server, the at least one proposed transaction to the mobile device;
receiving, by the server, an approval for the at least one proposed transaction; and
initiating, by the server, the approved proposed transaction by initiating at least one of crediting or debiting the account associated with the party to the approved proposed transaction, responsive to receiving approval for the at least one proposed transaction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the financial object comprises at least one of a financial card, card, token, indicia, or a transaction document.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein determining the account information for the party associated with the financial object in the image comprises:
identifying at least one information field for the financial object in the image; and
querying a database communicatively coupled to the server to determine if the financial object is associated with an account.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one information field comprises at least one of a name, financial card account number, financial card expiration date, security code, and signature.

The method of claim 1, wherein the image comprises at least one additional financial card, each of the at least one additional financial card comprising an additional party to the at least one proposed transaction.

### Claim 11

A system comprising:
at least one server communicatively coupled to a remote device by a network, wherein the at least one server further comprises a non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions and at least one processor;
execution of the computer-readable instructions causing the at least one server to:
receive, from the remote device, an image of a financial object, wherein the financial object is associated with a party to a transaction;
determine account information for the party associated with the financial object based on an analysis of the image of the financial object;
generate at least one proposed transaction including parameters for the proposed transaction based on the determined account information;
transmit the at least one proposed transaction to the remote device;
receive an approval for the at least one proposed transaction; and
initiate the approved proposed transactions by initiating at least one of crediting or debiting the account associated with the party to the approved proposed transaction, responsive to receiving approval for the proposed transaction.
