Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, computer program product, and computer system for verifying transactions over a network. The method includes initiating a proposed transaction with a transaction server. The transaction server provides encoded details of the proposed transaction, in the form of a QR code, to the user. The QR code is scanned using a computing device, and is decoded using an application on the computing device. A set of transaction details associated with the decoded QR code is compared with the details of the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is then confirmed or aborted using a separate communication channel.
