At Exeter we have been accepting payment by credit or debit cards for
several years:
- we accept Mastercard / Visa / Switch / Connect without passing any
costs on to the student (for which we have agreements with the card
companies).
- we accept other cards where we have agreements (usually Amex) but
DO pass on the charges (Amex is 3.5% for example).
- all the different types of card can only be processed where there is
an agreement with the card company
- payment is permitted by UK cards
- we will attempt to process an overseas card, but we have found that
the foreign bank often requires voice-identification from the card
owner as a security check. This can take up to several hours (during
which the card line is occupied and cannot be used for other
transactions). In such cases, we cancel the proposed transaction and
require the student to pay by other means.
