Abstract:

A method for identity verification during authorization of a payment card which employs a composite verification process at the time a card user having a payment card and who desires to make a purchase from a merchant provides information related to their payment card to the merchant. In this regard, the identity of the user can be verified prior to the completion of the authorization of the payment card. The composite verification process includes, upon card information being provided to a payment terminal, at least confirming that the payment terminal in use is connected to an electronic visual display that is capable of displaying an image, retrieving from the card information received a stored image of the owner and/or authorized user(s) of the payment card, and causing the stored image to be displayed on the connected electronic visual display.
