Abstract
A token-based biometric payment processing system facilitates point-of-sale (POS) processing of payments. A biometric identification provider (BIP) receives a single-use token (SUT) from a payment processor (PP). The SUT is associated at the PP with a payment account on file (PAOF) and with an identity at the BIP. Upon identification at a scanner by the BIP, the SUT is processed to generate payment data (PMT) that is secured. The PMT is sent to the scanner, which forwards the PMT to a PP terminal using a communication interface and protocol. The communication interface and protocol may use existing contactless approaches, such as those used for mass transit cards, allowing the scanner to communicate with a wide array of PP terminals. The PP terminal then sends the PMT on to the PP. The PP receives the PMT and, if the PMT is valid, initiates a transaction to transfer funds from the PAOF.
