ONLINE PAYMENT FAQ
For our group tour participants planning to register online, to ensure you meet the registration due date, we encourage everyone to register at your earliest convenience. Please do not leave this process until just prior to the registration due date. The payment is not processed upon registration, only on the deposit due dates as outlined on the tour information webpage.
Please do not attempt to register using a cell phone (from experience these devices do not work with our system) please use a regular computer or tablet.

If registering more than one person but paying with separate credit cards or EFT accounts, you need to have a unique email address which is your username. If you do not have a second e-mail address, our suggestion is to set up a free e-mail address like Gmail or Hotmail.
If three people are travelling on the same tour, then one would need to register on their own with a different username and password.

- The Ellison EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) system accepts bank account data over an industry standard encrypted secure sockets layer and goes beyond to use separate encryption keys (some of the most secure encryption available guaranteeing random output of the same data each time) to store bank account information.
- Account numbers are never stored in the clear and all transmissions to our processor Bank of Montreal are also over an industry standard secure sockets layer.
- The Ellison server system is housed in Amazon Web Services (the same systems that power some of the worlds largest web sites and systems including SAP, NASDAQ, Etsy, Ticketmaster, PBS, Adobe, Dow Jones, LinkedIn, and many others) in a physically secure facility which itself meets and exceeds aggressive physical and network security standards by the payment industry.
- EFT, similar to credit card processing, is disputable and customers at any of the big five Canadian banks (Royal Bank, Scotiabank, BMO, TD, CIBC) can seek protection in the event of fraud. This is also true at many credit unions. Ask your bank for details.
