Abstract
In some examples, a financial transaction is effectuated between first and second users of a payment service system. The payment service system receives, from the first user, a request for a first payment proxy identifier for the first user, and receives from the second user, a request for a second payment proxy identifier for the second user. The payment service system generates the payment proxy identifiers with a currency indicator prefixing one or more alphanumeric characters. The payment proxy identifiers enable the payment service system to identify the financial accounts of the respective users in lieu of payment card mechanisms. The payment service system receives a message from the second user indicating a money transfer request, initiates a transfer of funds from an account of the second user to an account of the first user, and sends an email message to the first user indicating the transfer of funds.
