A system, apparatus, and method is provided for enabling commerce transactions, and other forms of commercial activity among participants in a gaming or other forms of virtual environment and the real world, or between a participant in one virtual environment and a participant in a second virtual environment, using or taking advantage of the services of an Identity Bridge or Gateway. In particular, a real-time commercial activity system is implemented through user interface interactions, and middle-ware interactions. A financial transaction between the users is facilitated through a third party finance service provider, using proprietary identities of the users. Since the system obtains and verifies the relationship between proprietary and real identities of the users, the financial transaction can be facilitated in a secure and trusted fashion without revealing real identities.
