Abstract A payment making system comprises an electronic cash register and a payment making terminal device connected to the register and is adapted for use with a bank card issued by a bank to a person having a deposit account with the bank. The bank card has recorded therein at least data relating to the account number of the holder of the card, data relating to the bank where the account is opened and data for identifying the holder. The cash register comprises a keyboard for entering data relating to goods and including the prices of the goods and a first card reader for reading the data in the bank card and calculates the total sum of the prices entered as the sum payable. The terminal device is connected to and communicates with a control center provided with a file having stored therein data relating to the accounts of users and stores and with the function of transferring sums payable from users' account to stores' accounts. The terminal device comprises a first memory for storing paired data transferred from the cash register and including the bank card data and sums payable and a second card reader for reading the data recorded in the bank card. The paired data including the card data in match with the data read by the second card reader is retrieved from the first memory. The data relating at least to the account number of the user and the sum payable which are included in the paired data retrieved, and data prestored and relating to the store's account number are sent to the control center.
