ScholarTrip does not accept payments over the phone—part of our committed effort to keep your payment data safe and secure at all times.

Over-the-phone payments expose your financial data in ways that we, at ScholarTrip, find categorically unacceptable and incompatible with the industry best practices when it comes to safeguarding customer information. Here are the top reasons online payments are recommended over telephone transactions:

- industry standard 128-bit encryption protocols keep your data safe throughout the whole process;

- web based solutions allow implementation of additional automated or custom verification protocols;

- booking online is more intuitive and time-efficient;

- the visual component makes it easy to carefully review all the details at the time of purchase and therefore significantly reduces the risk of errors and omissions.
