Note | Card Security Code required

It is mandatory to provide the Card Security Code (CSC) when paying by credit card. The CSC number is not your pin number but rather a three or four-digit card verification number printed on either the front or back of your credit card.On a Visa, Mastercard, or Diners credit card you will typically find a three-digit CSC number on the back of the card printed in the top-right corner of the signature panel.

On an American Express credit card, you will find a four-digit CSC number on the front of the card, above the main credit card number.

The Ministry will soon announce other methods of payment that will make it even easier to pay for online services.

The Ministry has also established internet kiosks in its main office in Nuku’alofa.  You may visit the Ministry and staff will assist you in establishing your user account.  You may then fund it with a check or cash and begin your business.
