Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are systems and methods of utilizing an initial, automatic authentication of a financial instrument user's identity when the user attempts to make a purchase with a financial instrument at a point-of-sale. Many financial instrument users have cell phones which are able to be located, and users often carry their phones with them when making purchases. An initial authentication of the identity of a credit card user could be made by comparing the location of the point-of-sale with the location of the card user's registered cell phone.
