Secure money transfer between hand-held devices

A payment resolution module is configured to communicate with hand-held devices (such as mobile phones, PDA's, or computers) to allow secure transfer of funds between financial accounts associated with each of the hand-held devices. A user of a paying device may be identified as the owner of the device either by having the option to enter a personal identification code, or by using a biometric to identify himself, for example. Accordingly, only an authorized user of the hand-held device may use the hand-held device to transfer funds. A user of the recipient device may be identified by an identification code or a telephone number, for example, which is associated with a recipient financial account. After the payment resolution module receives authorization for a payment request to the recipient account, a payment transfer module transmits the requested amount from a payment source associated with the identified owner of the paying device to the recipient account.
