Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for a financial transaction between a mobile wallet of a user and a merchant; generating a displayable and scannable transaction code; sending the transaction code to one of a mobile device or the merchant for the other of the mobile device and the merchant to scan to request a transfer of funds from the mobile wallet of the user to the merchant; generating a verification request to confirm the information included in a transfer request; receiving a verification response confirming the information included in the transfer request; and transferring funds to the merchant upon receiving the verification response.
