Method of conducting a payment for one or more goods ordered from a vendor by a buyer at a traditional point of sale, or remotely by way of telecommunications/datacommunications, using a credit facility in buyer's name at a financial institution, said method being characterised by the fact that a trusted third party (TTP) verifies, on behalf of the vendor, the authorisation and credit reservation for the payment of said ordered good(s) at the financial institution in question, and is further characterised by the fact that the financial settlement of the payment does not take place until it is triggered by information from the shipping company indicating that the ordered good(s) has/have reached a specific location during shipping to said delivery location, or indicating that the good(s) has/have been accepted at the preferred delivery location by or on behalf of the buyer, as agreed beforehand between buyer and vendor. <IMAGE>
