Abstract
A mobile device such as a smart phone enables a user to wirelessly request to receive a delivery of an amount of cash. The request is sent to a remote transaction system which approves the request and provides the mobile device with a transaction identifier. The user operates the mobile device to send the transaction identifier, the amount and a delivery location to a delivery service terminal associated with a delivery service. The delivery service terminal communicates with the remote transaction system to confirm the delivery and/or the mobile device confirms the delivery to the remote transaction system. The remote transaction system operates to charge the financial account for the amount. In some arrangements the mobile device user may choose to have selected items of goods delivered by the delivery service in addition to cash.
