Abstract
A payment transaction method between a customer with a portable mobile device and a service point includes determining, at a payment terminal of the service point, a total transaction amount to be paid and a transaction identification that is different from other transaction identifications used for other transactions and assigned to the total transaction amount. The method includes informing the customer about the total transaction amount and the transaction identification. The method includes transmitting, from the payment terminal, the total transaction amount and the transaction identification to a central transaction unit. The method includes transmitting, from the mobile device, the transaction identification without inclusion of the transaction amount to the central transaction unit. The method further includes transmitting from the central transaction unit a payment request including at least the total transaction amount to the mobile device.
