New payment method
Credit card payments for our high class escorts
For some clients, paying by credit card is a practical preference. Society Service has offered this option for years, and we still do today, with clear terms and a realistic expectation of how it works in practice.
What the situation was in 2015 and what changed in 2020
In 2015, credit card payments with Visa or MasterCard were accepted with a 10% surcharge. In 2020, this surcharge was reduced to 5%, and that 5% credit card surcharge is still the current rate.
How credit card payments work today
We no longer use portable ATMs or pin machines. Payment technology has evolved, and credit card payments are now processed through an app on a smartphone. In principle, this is simpler and more modern than working with separate payment terminals.
Why a credit card transaction can fail
Despite the improved technology, credit card payments in this industry are not always reliable. Because of the nature of the sector, some card issuers and payment providers exclude escort services. This can result in a transaction being declined without a clear explanation, even if the card is valid and there is sufficient credit available. Unfortunately, this is outside of our control and cannot be guaranteed in advance.
Why we strongly advise against paying by credit card
A credit card transaction often creates extra friction at the start of a booking. It takes time, depends on a stable mobile connection, and involves several steps in the app. If a transaction is declined, it can cause unnecessary disruption and awkwardness for both client and escort. For that reason, we consider it “gedoe” in practice and we strongly recommend choosing a different payment method whenever possible.
If you still want to pay with Visa or MasterCard
If you prefer to pay by credit card, please let us know in advance. We can then confirm whether Visa or MasterCard payment is possible for your booking and explain what to expect. Please note that even with preparation, a successful transaction cannot be guaranteed due to restrictions imposed by certain card issuers.
