Abstract
A method of operating a payment-enabled mobile device includes detecting, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is in proximity to a non-retail contactless transaction terminal. The method further includes permitting operation of an application program in the mobile device. The permitting of operation of the application program is in response to the detected proximity of the non-retail contactless transaction terminal. The operation of the application program is to engage in a transaction with the non-retail contactless transaction terminal while bypassing a user verification feature of the application program.
