Abstract
Abstract A card transactions processing apparatus executes, when a card storing data is mounted thereon, predetermined transaction processing by using the card data. The processing apparatus has a card reader/writer (21) for selectively reading the card data out of the card and writing data in the card, a data processing unit (10) for executing predetermined processing on the basis of the card data, a program board mounting section (72) for removably mounting a program board (22) that stores a program particular to a party associated with the card.
