Payment options

‍

By Credit card

The preferred method of payment is by card online via our secure payment gateway.

‍

In the unlikely event of a rejected on-line credit/debit card payment, the participant is recommended to return to their registration online and to try to process the payment again. Should the payment issue persist, the participant is advised to contact the card issuer/bank first to check for any potential block on the online transaction. If there is a block, once this is removed it will be possible to pay via the online payment gateway.
