Abstract
An electronic payment request is authorized using a plurality of electronic codes. A first code is requested from a user on receipt of a payment request made with a payment card configured with one or more details of one or more devices in the possession of one or more owners of the card. The payment is refused in the event the first code does not substantially match a predefined second code. A third code is requested from the one or more devices with whose details the payment card is configured if the first code substantially matches the second code. The third code is compared with a predefined fourth code. The payment is refused in the event the third code does not substantially match the fourth code, while the payment is authorized in the event the third code substantially matches the fourth code.
