Online payments are processed through Paypal. One time time payments such as our 2019 Ethics Course require nothing but your credit card details. Ongoing subscriptions like our annual A4A memberhsip require supplying Paypal with an email address and password to create an account so you can manage your subscription details. You are NOT required to fund the Paypal account in any manner. The account is simply to give you control over the subscription so you can do things like print invoices, change credit card details, cancel future recurring charges, etc. Paypal's industry leading security for online payments and the added control you get over your subscription details is a benefit of your subscription while still using the credit card of your choice instead of a traditional Paypal account that would normally be funded.

A4A members must contact us by phone at 516-333-0066 x219 to request a change to their subscription billing information. This is because of the way that VISA handles the security. For security purposes, the card details are stored in the VISA cloud (not our server). We are then constrained by the way that the VISA system allows these changes, and for subscriptions, the consumer can not make these changes proactively.
