MyFinance at italki

On your personal menu bar, there is a tab called "MyFinance". That is where you can always see how many italki credits (ITC) you have in your account. If you need to purchase more ITC, you can do it from this page.

To set up your MyFinance account, you will need to provide italki with additional information so italki can verify your identity, including full name, mailing address, and phone number. This information will be kept secure and not displayed on italki. These details are important to prevent fraud.

You will also need to create another password (italki PIN). This adds an additional layer of security to protect you from unauthorized transactions.

Create a payment account

Once you have registered as an italki user, you can create a payment account. When you create a payment account, you will need to input more information and create a Persinal Identification Number Code (PIN). This is to protect your payment account from unauthorized transactions.
