The present invention satisfies these needs by providing an improved
system and method for tokenless authorization of an electronic scrip
transaction using at least one scrip supporter biometric sample and an
electronic identicator. The preferred embodiment of the method comprises
the steps of a scrip supporter registration step, wherein a scrip
supporter registers with an electronic identicator at least one
registration biometric sample, an electronic scrip transaction proposal
step, comprising electronic scrip donator account data, at least one
transmittal step, wherein a scrip supporter bid biometric sample is
obtained from the scrip supporter's person and is electronically
transmitted to the electronic identicator, a scrip supporter
identification step, wherein the electronic identicator compares the bid
biometric sample with at least one registration biometric sample for
producing either a successful or failed identification of the scrip
supporter, wherein upon successful identification of the scrip supporter,
a scrip transaction is biometrically authorized, without the scrip
supporter presenting any personalized man-made tokens such as smartcards
or magnetic swipe cards.
