When a purchaser uses the PIN of a prepaid card for settlement of shopping and commercial transactions on the Internet, the validity of the PIN is checked, and the available balance is checked and the user is notified. In addition, by using a unique personal identification number assigned to each prepaid card, the sum of the amounts of the two or more prepaid cards can be used for settlement of shopping and commercial transactions.
