How Do I Pay If My Card Is Not in US Dollars?

EduSum shows every price in US dollars, so a card issued in another currency still settles in USD — the amount is simply converted along the way. There are two routes for that, differing only in where the conversion happens: at your own bank, or at the payment gateway before you confirm.

The site never shows a second currency beside the USD figure or a live exchange rate; the price stays in dollars and the conversion happens off to the side. What changes between the two routes is only who runs that conversion and where its fee turns up.

Where Your IT Exam Payment Gets Converted

If you leave it to your bank, it converts the amount from your currency to US dollars at its own rate on the day you buy, and it may add a handling fee of its own — so the total that lands on your statement can sit a little above the round USD figure you approved at the checkout. If instead you would rather see your own currency before paying, you can switch away from USD at the payment gateway itself; the figure it then shows has the conversion and the exchange-rate fee already built in, so the number you approve there is the number that is charged. Same exam, same USD price on the site — only the point where the currency is worked out moves.

What EduSum Bills for an IT Exam

The bill from EduSum covers the product you are purchasing and government taxes if any apply, and nothing beyond that. It does not charge for currency conversions or for exchange-rate fees; those come from your bank or the gateway, whichever did the converting, and the buyer is responsible for them. So when the amount on your statement differs from the figure on the site, nothing has gone wrong with the order — the difference was added by the party doing the conversion, not by EduSum.

So a non-USD card is no obstacle: let your bank convert at its day rate, or switch to your currency on the gateway. EduSum bills the USD price for the exam plus any government tax, and leaves the conversion and its fees to your bank or the gateway.
