Title: Charge Payment System and Method of Verification of supplied Financial data
Inventor: FOGARTY KENNETH CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G07F17/16
Filed: 2013-10-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a charge payment system and method. In particular the invention relates to a charge payment system and method for pay per view (PPV), pay per events (PPE) and the like. The main advantage of the system is that the user does not have to pre-register account information in order to effect a charge payment to order for pay per view or pay per event services. The system operates akin to a premium text service where a user's telephone phone account (pre-existing telecommunication account) is debited for the charge amount in response to text information, which allows for simple and easy useful mechanism to pay for one off services. The method involves storing user identifier information at a remote server 105, and associating a communication device 101 with a users pre-existing telecommunication account. A message is sent from the communication device by the user to the remote server, the message comprising at least a code. The server matches the received message with the stored identifier information and, if a match is made, performs a payment using the users account.
