However, please note that a merchant processing fee of 4.99% of the total amount (as of February 2025 — subject to change) will be applied for card transactions.
When using your credit or debit card, ensure that your card is enabled for international transactions and that you have sufficient funds or credit limit to cover the transfer amount and the processing fee. This method is secure, fast, and allows you to complete your payment from the comfort of your home or office.
To process payments using a card, please request your service provider to share the payment link for credit card transactions. Once received, the payment link will display the precise amount due, including all applicable fees. We strongly advise you to carefully review the amount before proceeding to ensure accuracy and avoid any overpayments.
