Hi Martijn,
Yes, it is the only payment option. I appreciate that there are effective
and commonly used bank transfer systems in some European countries, but our
administrative capacity and the booking website meant we had to settle on
one method of payment.
We did consider all options and various currency payment options, but we
settled on credit card payments as the being most accessible method
internationally and the simplest for us to administrate at this scale.
I hope this doesn't prevent you from attending.
Best
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Prevent, no. I can get a pre-paid mastercard from paypal through snail
mail, or order one from my bank, which is also a lot more convenient for
accommodation booking. But it is definitely a hindrance.

Currently the only payment method for
registration as far as I can find
is by credit card. Are more payment options planned and/or considered?
