1. A method for performing a secure transaction, the method including:
- a. a customer transaction request step of transmitting, from a first computing system to an intermediary billing system, a request for a secure transaction;
b. a verification code step of generating, in the intermediary billing system, a verification code, and transmitting, from the intermediary billing system to a wireless communication device associated with the customer, the verification code;
c. a customer confirmation step of transmitting, from a second computing system, the verification code to the intermediary billing system;
d. a validation step of receiving, at the intermediary billing system, the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step and comparing the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step to the verification code generated in the verification code step;
e. a response step of allowing the customer transaction request, at the intermediary billing system, if the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step matches the verification code generated in the verification code step, and denying the customer transaction request, at the intermediary billing system, if the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step does not match the verification code generated in the verification code step.

Abstract
Billing a customer through an intermediary billing system for a transaction by receiving, at the intermediary billing system, a transaction request associated with a transaction amount and a customer identification code, validating, in the intermediary billing system, the transaction request by determining whether the customer identification code corresponds to a customer that is registered with the intermediary billing system, and sending, in the case that the transaction request is valid, a billing event trigger associated with the customer identification code to an external billing mechanism, the billing event trigger representing the transaction amount.

20. An intermediary billing system for performing a secure transaction, comprising:
-
a. at least one processor;
b. an interface having access to the internet; and
c. a computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for performing a secure transaction, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform the steps of;
i. a customer transaction request step of receiving, from a first computing system to the intermediary billing system, a request for a secure transaction;
ii. a verification code step of generating, in the intermediary billing system, a verification code, and transmitting, from the intermediary billing system to a wireless communication device associated with the customer, the verification code;
iii. a validation step of receiving, at the intermediary billing system, the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step and comparing the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step to the verification code generated in the verification code step;
iv. a response step of allowing the customer transaction request, at the intermediary billing system, if the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step matches the verification code generated in the verification code step, and denying the customer transaction request, at the intermediary billing system, if the verification code sent in the customer confirmation step does not match the verification code generated in the verification code step.
