    Abstract: A first user terminal used by a first user is configured to transmit a request for acquiring a settlement token to a first settlement server managed by a first settlement service provider available to the first user. The first settlement server generates a settlement token associated with a first service provider identifier for identifying the first settlement service provider and is configured to transmit the settlement token to the first user terminal. The first user terminal is configured to display a settlement code generated on the basis of the settlement token. A second user terminal registered in a second settlement server managed by a second settlement service provider different from the first settlement service provider is configured to transmit settlement information including a settlement token and a settlement price obtained by reading the settlement code to a relay server. The relay server acquires the first service provider identifier associated with the settlement token.
