A system (and a method) for electronic financial transactions includes at least of each of a sender having an electronic wallet, a recipient having an electronic wallet, a sending bank having a host application system and an authentication server, a receiving bank having a host application system and an authentication server, and a wallet management center with a host application system and an authentication server. The sender uses its electronic wallet to send an encrypted payment instruction directly to the electronic wallet of the recipient. The recipient can accept the payment by performing a second level encryption of the payment instruction for submission to the wallet management center for authentication. Once authenticated, the wallet management center immediately notifies the recipient and submits payment instructions for clearing by the corresponding sending and receiving banks. Payment authorization is authenticated directly by the sending bank without involvement of the wallet management center.
