Abstract

A portable secure financial messaging unit (906) includes a receiver (804) and a selective call decoder (1004). The selective call decoder (1004) has a memory (1010) that includes a single unique selective call address corresponding with a predetermined financial transaction type. An address correlator (830) operates to determine substantial coincidence between the single unique selective call address and a received selective call address corresponding with the predetermined financial transaction type. In response to a coincidence, a main processor (1006) and a financial transaction processor (1014) process-received information to effect a financial transaction corresponding with the predetermined financial transaction type.
