    in response to the scanning, transferring payment from the customer payment account to each of the merchant accounts corresponding to the merchant identification information encoded into the product codes;

    providing to the customer, by the processor, in response to the receiving payment information and authentication information of the customer comprising fingerprint authentication, an iris pattern authentication, a heartbeat authentication and a vein pattern identification, a unique code on a display of the mobile and wearable device, the unique code encoding at least bank account information, a total price, merchant data, and a user phone number; and

    a haptic control, wherein the haptic control comprises a graphic image shown on a display of the mobile and wearable device overlapping other visual elements on the display, the haptic control providing mode selection elements associated with a payment mode, a messaging mode, a calling mode, and a multimedia capture mode, wherein the haptic control is compatible with other programs installed on the mobile and wearable device associated with the payment mode, the messaging mode, the calling mode, and the multimedia capture mode, and providing a plurality of stored payment cards for selection by the customer to use in at least the payment mode, the haptic control facilitating online transactions not completed at the checkout counter;

    superimposing, by the processor, the haptic control on the display of the mobile and wearable device on top of all content displayable of the mobile and wearable device from the other programs, and using the haptic control within the other programs to facilitate at least one of performing payments, messaging, and calling associated with the payment mode, the messaging mode, the calling mode, and the multimedia capture mode of the mobile and wearable device;

    receiving, by the processor, a selection of the payment mode via the mode selection elements of the haptic control from the customer, wherein the selection of the payment mode includes a single touching of the mode selection elements associated with the payment mode;

    upon the selection, automatically extracting, by the processor, context from at least one of the other installed programs from the display of the mobile and wearable device, wherein the context comprises one or more of a payment recipient, a payment account, a sender account, and a payment amount extracted from a web page, an application screen, or a message in view on the display;

    based on the context, automatically determining, by the processor, a payment transaction type which the customer intends to perform, wherein the payment transaction type includes a payment receiving transaction and a payment sending transaction;

    when the determined payment transaction type is the payment receiving transaction, automatically sending a transaction request to a financial institution without requesting financial information, authorizing, or confirmations, wherein the transaction request associated with the payment receiving transaction includes at least the unique code, and receiving a payment from the financial institution, wherein subsequent to the selection of the payment mode, the payment receiving transaction is automatically performed with no further input by the customer after the selection;

    when the determined payment transaction type is the payment sending transaction, calculating, by the processor, a deposit amount associated with the payment sending transaction related to the customer and sending a transaction request associated with the payment sending transaction to the financial institution, wherein the transaction request associated with the payment sending transaction includes at least the unique code, wherein the deposit amount amounts to a predetermined percent from the payment amount, wherein the deposit amount is associated with the mobile payment account of the customer, and sending a payment from the customer to the financial institution, wherein subsequent to the selection of the payment mode, the payment sending transaction is automatically performed with no further input by the customer after the selection;
