Is paying to italki by credit card safe enough?
Hi, there. I am thinking about buying some ITCs, and I find out that paying directly with my visa credit card will save me some exchange fees. However, I am worried about the security problem through Internet merely via the number of my card. My card is from Bank of China, and it seems not to support the function of switching on or off casually paying without cards overseas.

Thanks.

I can't answer your question very accurately because I lack experience, but I do have a suggestion. Try to find someone who has paid for a lession on this website (maybe ask the teacher you want to learn from for a student's name) and ask them how they paid for their lessons. I'm sure paying with your card is safe enough, but it never hurts to double-check. Maybe they have another suggestion for how to pay. This site may also help: http://help.italki.com/Help/MyFinance
