Abstract
A method and system are provided for authorizing an electronic transaction between two entities. The method includes receiving, at a verification module, coincidentally captured facial image data relating to both of the two entities and authenticating each of the two entities based on a comparison between the coincidentally captured facial image data and respective facial image templates relating to each of the two entities enrolled in a database. The method also includes retrieving, from the database, account data relating to each of the two entities based on the coincidentally captured facial image data, on determining that each of the two entities are positively authenticated, and generating an authorization message for authorizing the electronic transaction, where the authorization message comprises the account data relating to each of the two entities retrieved from the database.
