A system for issuing cyber payment means (cyber notes, cyber checks, cyber
payment certificates, etc.) marked with business identification
information, on a computer network, and a method thereof are provided.
The method has the steps of (a) a server computer on the computer
network, receiving information including business identification
information and the number of a current account from a user and storing
the information by user in a database managed by the server computer; (b)
at the request of a user accessing the server computer, issuing a cyber
payment means marked with at least a unique number of the payment means,
a business identifier of the corresponding user, and the amount of money,
and storing the issued cyber payment means by user in the database; and
(c) if a first user, who has the issued cyber payment means, performs
payment for a second user, using the cyber payment means when the first
user is connected to the server, the cyber payment means being moved from
the first user to the second user inside of the database. According to
the method and system, since transaction processing by the cyber payment
means can be performed only when the server computer is connected, the
security problem of existing network-type electronic money can be solved.
Business identification information marked on the cyber payment means
enables to obtain transparency of transactions. Also, since a cyber
promissory note or a cyber check denoting a large amount of money can be
divided and transferred, payment means denoting large amounts of money
can be utilized as payment means for small amounts of money.
