In one step, account information is received that can be used for receiving funds using a money handler. The account information identifies an account of the payor. A token is generated that correlates to the account information. The token is sent to the merchant that uniquely identifies the payor and the merchant. The token, which corresponds to a payment, is received. It is authenticated that the token was presented by the merchant. The payment is transferred from the payor to the merchant with the payment system.
