Original Abstract Submitted

Image-based processing of sources of financial information for financial transactions is provided. A device is enabled to acquire one or more images including a representation of a source of financial information. The device can validate the source, independent of the financial information in a preliminary analysis. If the source is validated, one or more images are used to acquire the financial information. The financial information is then validated. If the financial information is valid, authorization of the financial transaction can be initiated.
