<p>There is disclosed an arrangement in which a standard cash card, namely one which can be used in a variety of financial transactions, can be inserted into a slot in a mobile communications device, which may for example be in the form of a mobile phone. After establishing a communications path between the mobile communications device and a financial services provider, or other transactor (including another user of a similar device) and confirming by means of an authorisation procedure that a user of the device is authorised to perform transactions, value can be transferred between the user and the other transactor. The card can then be removed from the mobile communications device, and used in a conventional way, for example in transaction payments.</p> |
