1. A register processing terminal for payment transaction, the register processing terminal comprising:
first communication circuitry to communicate with a biometric information acquisition apparatus;
second communication circuitry to communicate with payment servers via a network;
a near field wireless communication circuitry to communicate with a smartphone;
storage storing pieces of information on credit card companies, each piece being associated with a respective payment server;
a touch panel display; and
a processor configured to generate a credit card information acquisition request and transmit the credit card information acquisition request to the smartphone via the near field wireless communication circuitry,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
acquire first biometric information from the biometric information acquisition apparatus via the first communication circuitry;
receive pieces of credit card company information which is stored in the smartphone, via the near field wireless communication circuitry;
identify pieces of information on credit card companies in the storage that match pieces of the credit card company information from the smartphone;
generate an authentication request containing the first biometric information and a payment amount; and
transmit the authentication request to all payment servers that are associated with the identified pieces of information on credit card companies, and receive response messages respectively from the payment servers, via the second communication circuitry,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
display both information related to credit card companies based on the response messages received via the second communication circuitry and information related to the payment amount on the touch panel display; and
upon receiving of a designation input to the touch panel display, transmit a payment completion request to one of the payment servers designated by the designation input via the second communication circuitry.
