Abstract: According to one embodiments, an electronic money management system includes a fund charging controller and a deduction unit. The controller performs a control in a manner such that, if a transaction is made on a user's terminal through an electronic money service of a first country to charge a designated amount of funds in a currency of a second country the designated amount of funds in the currency of the second country is charged based on an exchange rate at time of the transaction. The currency of the second country differs from a currency of the first country. The deduction unit, if an electronic money service of the second country is used on the terminal, deduct an amount used from the currency of the second country charged by the controller.
