Abstract: An electronic money escrow settlement system is provided with an escrow service server for allowing usage of electronic money for escrow settlements. A transaction information acquisition unit receives transaction information from a transaction site server. In response to acknowledgement of completion of a deposit made by a purchaser into a first account for first electronic money of the escrow service server, a payment reception processing unit notifies a seller terminal about completion of the deposit. In response to reception of a commodity reception notification from the purchaser, a payment transfer processing unit remits, from a second account of the escrow service server to the seller, an amount of second electronic money corresponding to the paid amount of the first electronic money deposited by the purchaser into the first account.

Abstract: An electronic money mediation system is provided with a service server that mediates payment using electronic money and reception thereof. A transaction information acquisition unit acquires transaction information by associating payment information from a payer terminal with reception information from a receiver terminal. A payment reception processing unit acknowledges completion of a deposit made by a payer into a first account, of the service server, for first electronic money which is the same type as that used in the payment made by the payer. In response to acknowledgement of the deposit made by the payer, a payment transfer processing unit remits, from a second account for second electronic money of the service server to a receiver, an amount of second electronic money corresponding to the paid amount of the first electronic money deposited by the payer into the first account.
