A method for transaction approval includes submitting a transaction

approval request from a transaction site to a clearing agency; submitting a

user authorization request from the clearing agency to a user device;

receiving a response to the user authorization request; and sending a

response to the transaction approval request from the clearing agency to

the transaction site. Another method for transaction approval includes

submitting a transaction approval request from a transaction site to a

clearing agency; determining whether a trusted transaction is elected;

submitting a user authorization request from the clearing agency to a user

device, if a trusted transaction is determined to be elected; receiving a

response to the user authorization request from the user device, if the user

authentification request was submitted; and sending a response to the

transaction approval request from the clearing agency to the transaction

site. A system for transaction approval includes a clearing agency for the

transaction approval, the clearing agency having a function to request for

user authorization; a network operatively coupled to the clearing agency;

and a user device adapted to be operatively coupled to the network for

trusted transaction approval.
