A settlement terminal (200) including a password input unit (202) for inputting the password of a user and a biometrics information acquisition unit for acquiring the biometrics information of the user based on a predetermined biometrics authentication method is disclosed. Before person identification of the user, the settlement terminal (200) receives a person identification method list (115) containing available person identification methods and the person identification method priority order (116) indicating the priority order of the person identification method from the IC card (100). In accordance with the person identification method list (115) and the priority order of the person identification method, the settlement terminal (200) thus determines whether to conduct the password verification using a password input unit (202) or the biometrics authentication using a biometrics information acquisition unit.
