Electronic transaction messages are generated by payment terminals (10,12,14) in a first format for transmission within a first network (16), e.g. LAN. A protocol converter (18) changes the format of the messages to a second format suitable for transmission within a second network (20), e.g. Internet. Another protocol converter (22) changes the second format into a third format suitable for further processing by a data processing center (24) coupled to a financial institution, e.g. bank (26), credit (28) or an authorization (30) institution. An independent claim is also included for a device for performing transmission. Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Übertragung von Zahlungsverkehrsnachrichten, die von Zahlungsterminals (10, 12, 14) in einem ersten Format zur Verarbeitung in einem ersten Netzwerk (16) erzeugt werden, von einem Protokollwandler (18) in ein zweites Format zur Verarbeitung in einem zweiten Netzwerk (20) umgewandelt werden.
