Abstract
Systems and methods are described for incorporating electronic benefit transfer (EBT) systems into a secure, mobile, and electronic payment processing system. Existing EBT systems capture data regarding a purchase. This record keeping functionality can be harnessed to provide retailers and marketers with data regarding marketing efforts, coupon use, and more. A mobile device can be used to interact with a presence detection system. Coupons or payment information can be received at a mobile device, and payments can be carried out between a mobile device and a points of sale (POS).
