Abstract

Methods and systems are described for transferring funds from a sender to a recipient. Source funds are received from a sender.

The transfer identifier is received from the recipient, prompting a transfer in control of the recipient funds to the recipient. At least one of the source funds and the recipient funds are in the form of one or more electronic tokens. Each such electronic token has a currency amount and a digital signature identifying a financial institution that backs the electronic token for the currency amount.
