The system includes a card storing a fingerprint of the authorized card user, a card reader into which the card is inserted, and which reads the fingerprint of the card possessor and a judging means for judging whether a card possessor is an authorized card user based upon the result of a comparison of the fingerprint of the card possessor taken in by the card reader with the fingerprint registered in the card, which judging means can be provided in the card or the card reader.
