Abstract

A payment management apparatus according to an embodiment includes a purchase request receiving unit, a payment candidate selecting unit, a list information notifying unit, a selected information acquiring unit, and a payment unit. The purchase request receiving unit receives a purchase request transmitted from a user terminal. The payment candidate selecting unit selects payment candidates as candidates for a payer who pays a price for a purchasing object corresponding to the purchase request on behalf of a user who holds the user terminal. The list information notifying unit notifies the user terminal of information on a list of the payment candidates. The selected information acquiring unit acquires, from the user terminal, information on a payment candidate selected from the list of the payment candidates as information on a selected candidate. The payment unit performs a payment process on the purchasing object based on the information on the selected candidate.
