A computer-implemented method of establishing an online account for a prospective user, comprising the steps of presenting to a first user a merchant system through a network; receiving from the first user a product selected from the merchant system for purchase; presenting an online account icon for a banking system to the first user to initiate payment for the selected product; once the icon is selected by the first user, determining if the user has an account with the banking system, and if not, prompting the first user to enter a second user's contact information; contacting the second user by electronic messaging with a request to approve the first user's purchase; and upon receiving the approval, creating the online account for the first user.
