Abstract:

An enrollment of a receiver in a biometric authentication system is obtained. The receiver is challenged with a pre-remittance biometric challenge from the biometric authentication system prior to initiating a remittance to the receiver. An indication is obtained that the remittance has at least been initiated to a financial account of the receiver. The indication includes successful completion of the pre-remittance biometric challenge by the receiver. Responsive to obtaining the indication, at least one payee is automatically paid from the financial account.
