In an information processing system including a user terminal and a process condition management server, the user terminal includes a control unit that performs a transaction with electronic money associated with a user account and transmits information acquired by a biometric information acquisition sensor and a positional sensor or a behavioral sensor to the process condition management server. The process condition management server performs user authentication based on biometric information, and determines whether the positional or behavioral information satisfies a setting condition, and causes a transaction process in accordance with a registered transaction aspect, for example, a remittance process to the user account to be performed when the positional or behavioral information satisfies the setting condition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device comprising: a control unit configured to perform a transaction with electronic money associated with a user account;
