PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent damage from spreading without a limit even if an operator or the like has performed an illegal operation. SOLUTION: An electronic money server sends a fund transfer request, from a first account that is an account in the operating agency of an electronic money sever into which funds for issuing benefits are deposited, to the financial institution server of a financial institution provided with the first account, the fund transfer request being information requesting that a fund equivalent to benefit electronic money be transferred to the second account of the operating agency (S2316). On condition that a notification of completion of a fund transfer indicating that the fund transfer is complete in response to the fund transfer request sent is received (YES at S2321), a benefit electronic money issuing process for storing the benefit electronic money provided to the user as a benefit in a recording medium that the user meeting preset benefit provision requirements owns is performed (S2330).
