We are currently updating the ISHA online credit card payment gateway to comply with the new European SCA directive that comes into effect on the 31st December 2020. This is a directive that relates to authentication of online payments. We have therefore currently deactivated the online credt card facility whilst this is being updated. We hope to have the updated completed in the next 7 days.
New member applications, please complete your application in the normal way. Once the online payment option is re-established we will send you a notification with a payment link to enable you to settle subscription dues.
