Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for processing a payment request that use mobile devices to have money transferred. These mobile devices are capable of running a payment transfer application that facilitates a transfer of money. A user can then execute the payment transfer application using a mobile device to send money, through a payment processing system that runs the payment transfer application, to a recipient account. One or more techniques authenticate a user of the mobile device by multi factor authentication prior to processing requests for money transfer initiated by the user.
