<p>Abstract A method of operating a matching server for facilitating authorisation of payment for a transaction between a customer and a merchant at a point of sale is described. The method includes receiving a merchant match request from a merchant bank server, receiving a customer 5 match request from a customer bank server, and performing a matching operation to determine whether the transaction information included in the merchant match request and the transaction information included in the customer match request satisfy a transaction authorisation criteria. If the transaction authorisation criteria is satisfied payment for the transaction is deemed to be authorised, and a merchant bank confirmation confirming authorisation of the payment for the 10 transaction is communicated to one or both of the merchant bank server and the merchant apparatus.
