Abstract
The computer of a relay agency holds the money which a buyer pays for a commodity in a relay account. Then, the computer of the relay agency makes a payment transfer card and a notification card, and sends the notification card together with the request of purchase of the commodity to a seller. The relay agency sends the payment transfer card to the buyer. The buyer, after receiving the commodity, inserts the payment transfer card and the notification card into an automated teller machine of a bank, and gives instructions on the payment transaction to the computer of the relay agency. The computer of the relay agency transfers the money for the commodity from the relay account to the seller's account.
