PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transfer a value whose balance is managed on a server to a terminal which does not have an online connection function.SOLUTION: An electronic server 2 stores a value balance in association with an electronic money card 4 or a portable terminal 5. An offline settlement terminal 7 does not have a communication network connection function and cannot directly perform communication with the electronic money server 2. On the other hand, the portable terminal 5 can connect to the electronic money server 2 through the Internet 3. The offline settlement terminal 7 uses the communication network connection function of the portable terminal 5 at settlement time to connect to the electronic money server 2 using the portable terminal 5 as a relay device. By this way, the electronic money server 2 connects to the offline settlement terminal 7 and performs settlement using the value in an account of the portable terminal 5.
