A method for providing secure payment over a network, includes receiving a request from a consumer for payment of and amount from a consumer account with a secure payment entity to a merchant; determining by the secure payment entity that a blended risk score on the consumer is of an acceptable level; debiting the amount from the consumer account by the secure payment entity; and crediting the amount to a merchant account with the secure payment entity by secure payment entity, where the secure payment entity guarantees the credit of the amount to the merchant account . In this manner, consumers are able to purchase goods and services from merchants while minimizing the merchants' losses from charge backs and fraud. |
