Benefits of credit card transactions

• Payment links work with familiar credit card payment processes, which are widely understood and trusted by consumers; resulting in a high-end customer experience.  
• Credit card payments can earn points, cashback, or miles, which is an added benefit for the payer. 
• Credit card companies provide buyer protection against fraud, faulty goods, and other disputes, giving the payer added security. 
• The alternative of EFT payments from a bank account is a manual, time consuming and labourious process.
• By using card details directly through a secure payment gateway, customers avoid the potential risks associated with sharing bank account information. 
• The Payer receives instant notifications on successful payments
• Whilst some bank-issued credit cards offer complementary travel insurance coverage; these benefits are often limited and are usually not sufficient for the high costs associated with luxury travel. To minimise your risk, we strongly recommend taking out comprehensive travel insurance, and even then carefully reading the terms and exclusions so that you are aware of what you are not covered for.

Payment Gateway

Payments are via Yoco's online gateway, which accepts most Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards, as well as AMEX cards. Yoco offers secure payment processing that is internationally certified and uses robust security measures like 3D Secure for online transactions. SA Travel Online has a merchant agreement with Yoco, and we like referring friends to use Yoco's sinple and effective international payments solution for Rand invoicing (you'll get R100 off their card machine, SA Travel online gets R500 for everyone that signs up using its referral link, buys a card machine, and transacts over R1 000).

No card fees worldwide

So long as you are paying by credit card for a Rand invoiced amount, then there is no surcharge applied, you can pay from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada or Europe without a surcharge applying.

We will do our utmost to stick to Rand quotes we make for these routes, but if the Rand depreciates significantly against the US Dollar and final payment has not yet been made, we reserve the right to adjust the Rand amount payable.
