Abstract
In some examples, a payment service system receives an indication of an initiation of a transaction at a merchant device, the indication including transaction information indicative of a payment instrument associated with the transaction. The payment service system transmits, to a mobile device, a request for the mobile device to monitor for one or more signals of other devices within a proximity of the mobile device. The payment service system receives, from the mobile device, information related to monitoring for the one or more signals of other devices within the proximity of the mobile device. The payment service system determines whether the received information related to the monitoring for the one or more signals of other devices satisfies a threshold for a presence indication. The payment service system performs at least one action based at least on whether the threshold for the presence indication is satisfied.
