Abstract
The present invention provides an electronic money terminal which alone can handle multiple types of electronic money services. Since the electronic money terminal has a storage unit for storing a plurality of settlement processing programs each corresponding to one electronic money service, a selection unit for allowing a user to select an electronic money service that is used for settlement processing, and a control unit for causing a settlement processing program to be executed, which corresponds to the electronic money service selected by an input unit, the single electronic money terminal can perform settlement processing using the multiple types of electronic money services. As a result, since the number of the electronic money terminals in the entire system can be reduced, costs required to introduce the settlement systems corresponding to the electronic money services can be reduced.
