Abstract
Methods and arrangements for effecting payments via a mobile phone. A purchase request is received from a merchant on behalf of a customer. A code is provided to the customer via the merchant, via a first communication path. A purchase confirmation is directly received from the customer, the purchase confirmation being prompted by provision of the code to the customer. The purchase is validated via using the purchase confirmation from the customer via a second communication path different from the first communication path. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
