  • receiving, by a processor, a request via the wireless network for sharing the service from a first user endpoint device associated with a first customer, wherein the request is directed to a second user endpoint device having an internet protocol address associated with a second customer, the service is associated with the second user endpoint device in which the first user endpoint device does not have authorization to access;

    performing, by the processor, an authentication of the first user endpoint device;

    determining, by the processor, whether the first user endpoint device has a subscription to a sharing service for sharing the service, when the first user endpoint device is successfully authenticated;

    determining, by the processor, whether the second user endpoint device has a subscription to the sharing service;

    obtaining, by the processor, an authorization to enable the first user endpoint device to access the service that is associated with the second user endpoint device, when both the first user endpoint device and the second user endpoint device have a subscription to the sharing service, wherein the service is related to a financial transaction privilege for performing a financial transaction associated with a bank account to make a purchase;

    providing, by the processor, over a wireless communication channel a response granting the request for the sharing of the service; and

    setting up, by the processor, a sharing session over the wireless network for the first user endpoint device to initiate the financial transaction, wherein the sharing session simultaneously displays financial transaction data of the financial transaction to the first user endpoint device and the second user endpoint device.
