Systems and methods for biometric payments and authentication
Systems and methods for biometric payments are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for conducting a biometric payment may include (1) receiving at a server and from an electronic device, transaction information comprising an identification of a good or service to purchase from a merchant and a biometric payment instruction from an individual that was captured by the electronic device; (2) at least one computer processor authenticating the individual based on the biometric payment instruction; (3) the at least one computer processor determining a payment account for the transaction from the biometric payment instruction; (4) the at least one computer processor retrieving a payment device associated with the payment account; and (5) the at least one computer processor providing the payment device to the merchant.
1. A method for conducting a biometric payment, comprising:
receiving at a server from an electronic device, transaction information for a transaction comprising an identification of a good or service to purchase from a merchant and a biometric payment instruction comprising audio of an individual speaking a payment instruction that identifies a payment account for the transaction that was captured by the electronic device;
at least one computer processor authenticating the individual based on the audio of the individual speaking the payment instruction;
the at least one computer processor determining the payment account for the transaction from the audio of the individual speaking the payment instruction;
the at least one computer processor retrieving a payment device associated with the payment account; and
the at least one computer processor providing the payment device to the merchant.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction information further comprises a merchant identifier.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the merchant identifier is received by the electronic device as a machine-readable code.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payment account comprises a payment account issuer and a payment account identifier for the payment account.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the payment account identifier comprises an account type.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payment device that is associated with the payment account comprises a payment token.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payment device that is associated with the payment account comprises a payment authorization.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payment device that is associated with the payment account comprises at least one of a payment and an electronic funds transfer.
9. A method for conducting terminal-less transactions, comprising:
at least one computer processor generating a machine-readable code for a transaction, the machine-readable code comprising a link to an authentication application and a merchant identifier;
the at least one computer processor receiving, from the authentication application executed by an electronic device, a biometric payment instruction comprising audio of an individual speaking a payment instruction that identifies a payment account for the transaction that was captured by the electronic device;
the at least one computer processor authenticating the individual based on the audio of the individual speaking the payment instruction;
the at least one computer processor determining the payment account from the audio of the individual speaking the payment instruction;
the at least one computer processor retrieving a payment device associated with the payment account; and
the at least one computer processor providing the payment device to the merchant.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the payment account comprises a payment account issuer and a payment account identifier for the payment account.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the payment device that is associated with the payment account comprises a payment token.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the payment device that is associated with the payment account comprises a payment authorization.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the payment device that is associated with the payment account comprises at least one of a payment and an electronic funds transfer.
