Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided herein for image authenticated data transfers between electronic devices in a distributed network. An example method includes receiving a request for data transfer from a first user device associated with a first user that defines one or more data transfer parameters and determining a second user associated with the data transfer request based upon the one or more data transfer parameters. The method also includes determining a verifiable image object associated with the second user that includes at least a digital representation of the second user. The method further includes authenticating the data transfer between the first user device and a second user device associated with the second user in response to an authentication operation by the first user based upon the verifiable image object.
