Credit Card Payments

Should you wish to pay via credit card, please note only Visa and Master Card will be accepted. 

Note: to protect its own and the interests of customers, The Conference Company scrutinizes all transactions very carefully to prevent attempted fraud and a transaction may be refused if The Conference Company is not satisfied with its legitimacy. In addition, as you enter your credit card number, name and address on the ICBDSR 2025 Conference website, it is encrypted as a secret code for its virtual journey. An encrypted code is virtually illegible and indecipherable as it travels from destination to destination.

Please note: Payment will be made via a secure Yoco link, which will be included in your registration confirmation letter.


IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS:
If your transaction is not successful and you receive an error message, please advise us of the error message code, so that we can follow up with the bank as to the possible reason for this.

Since this is a secure site, it uses 3D Domain Security and if your card is not 3D secured, you may receive an error code 255.   In this event, please contact your bank, VISA or MasterCard directly and ask them for more information on how to 3D Secure your card.  Alternatively we would ask that you make payment by EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) instead.

Below is a brief explanation as to what 3D Domain Security is:
3D Domain Securityis a method of security mandated by the Credit Card Associations to enhance the security of online transactions. MasterCard's product is called "SecureCode" (the three numbers on the reverse side of the credit card) and VISA's product is called "Verified by Visa".

Very simply, the system authenticates the cardholder before the transaction takes place by diverting the browser to the bank that issued the card, who then request some secret, perhaps a pin code, from their cardholder that will conclusively prove that this actually is the cardholder entitled to use this card. Once they are satisfied that this is their cardholder they issue an authentication receipt which is then presented to the merchants bank along with the authorisation request. If the transaction is then approved by the issuing bank, they may not charge the transaction back to the merchant because the cardholder disputes the transaction as not being originated by them.
