An integrated read head system includes a mobile device with an audio jack and at least one microphone input port. A read head is physically coupled to the mobile device. The read head has a slot for swiping a magnetic stripe of a financial transaction card to enable a financial transaction between a buyer and seller. The read head reads data on the magnetic stripe and produces a signal indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe. The read head has an output jack that physically connects the read head to at least one of the audio jack or microphone port of the mobile device. The read head provides the signal to the mobile device. The signal is decoded at the mobile device. The decoding includes determining pulses in the signal and converting at least some of the pulses to characters.

1. An integrated read head system, comprising: a seller's mobile device including an audio jack or at least one microphone input port;a card reader that has a housing with a read head positioned therein, the card reader being physically coupled to the seller's mobile device, the card reader having a slot for swiping a magnetic stripe of a buyer's financial transaction card with the slot utilized to enable a financial transaction between a buyer and seller, the read head reading data on the magnetic stripe and producing a signal indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe, the card reader including an output jack that physically connects the read head to at least one of the audio jack or microphone port of the seller's mobile device with the read head providing the signal to the mobile device,passive ID circuitry in the housing of the read head to deliver a unique ID of the read head to the mobile device; andwherein decoding of the signal is performed in the seller's mobile device, the decoding including determining pulses in the signal and converting at least some of the pulses to characters. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the decoding includes error checking. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the decoding includes detecting that data in the signal is from the financial card, seeing the beginning and ending sentinels and reconstructing data in the signal from a pattern of pulses. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein a confirmation of payment is made to the buyer in response to completion of the financial transaction. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising: determining that the buyer is present with the seller at the time of the financial transaction. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the financial transaction card is selected from at least one of, credit financial transaction card, debit financial transaction card, gift financial transaction card, fund transfer financial transaction card, and other types of payment authenticating piece capable of carrying out the financial transaction. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is a portable electronic device that includes at least one of, software, firmware, hardware, or a combination thereof, that is capable of at least receiving a signal, decoding the signal if required, exchange information with a third party financial institution or payment network to verify the buyer and/or seller's account information and conduct the transaction. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is mobile digital device. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the financial transaction is an electronic transaction conducted over the Internet or a financial transaction card present point-of-sale transaction where the buyer makes a purchase at a store front, other “brick-and-mortar” location, or in a presence of the seller. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the signal includes financial transaction data selected from at least one of, amount of the transaction, additional notes related to the transaction, authorization and/or signature of the buyer. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the signal includes financial transaction card information selected from at least one of, one or more of financial transaction card number, financial transaction card holder's name, expiration date, and security code. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the slot is configured to reduce torque applied on the card reader when the financial transaction card is swiped through the slot in order to maintain accuracy and reliability of the data read by read head. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the signal produced is indicative of data stored on the magnetic stripe with minimum error via a single swipe of the financial transaction card. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein acceptance and initialization of incoming signals from a swipe of the financial transaction card are done until the signals reach a steady state, the financial transaction card swipe is detected once steady state is reached, and peaks in the incoming signals are identified when the financial transaction card swipe is detected. 15. The system of claim 1, wherein the financial transactions is completed without sharing financial transaction card information with the seller.
