Abstract
A payment button on a device capable of making telephone calls, such as a mobile phone, allows a payer to electronically transfer money while in a phone call with a payee. The payment button also allows a payee to initiate an electronic payment transaction while in a phone call with a payer. The payment button may be a clickable or tappable virtual button presented on a display of the phone when being used to make or receive a call. The payer or the payee can simply enter a payment amount on the phone to complete an electronic payment transaction. A notification of payment is instantly transmitted to the phones being used for the phone call, so that the parties can safely and conveniently conclude a purchase and/or payment transaction during one phone call.
