Credit Card Processing


Question: Which credit cards can I use?

Answer: You can use Visa or Mastercard.


Question: My payment has been declined and I don't know why.

Answer: There are many reasons why your payment may have been declined. The most common cause is data entry errors including: entering an invalid card number or invalid expiry date. All credit card transactions are processed in real-time through the financial network by your bank (whoever issued the credit card), so if you are sure that you entered the credit card details correctly you may have to contact your branch to ask why the transaction is being declined.


Question: Register Now is on my credit card statement but I don't know why.

Answer: Register Now provides online payment services to a variety of organisations. If there is a transaction on your credit card statement with the name of Register Now, that means you made a payment to someone using our services. If you can't remember what the payment was for, please contact us and we will be happy to explain the details of that particular payment.
