With a PayFar card, nobody needs your PNAS login
Every other route asks you to hand over your PNAS username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead, you pay PNAS yourself, from your own account.
Resellers and shared accounts
They pay on your behalf: with access to your account
- ✕They ask for your PNAS email and password to pay for you
- ✕You wait hours: sometimes a day, for someone to process the order by hand
- ✕A middleman fee on top of the exchange rate, never itemised
- ✕One card funds dozens of accounts: they get flagged together
PayFar
You pay, yourself؛ we only issue the card
- ✓With the card you pay yourself: no username or password is ever handed to anyone
- ✓Pay PNAS the moment you decide to: the charge clears instantly, at 3am if you like
- ✓No extra payment fee: just the rate of the day, shown before you confirm
Nobody logs into your PNAS account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.
You enter the card at PNAS checkout and the charge settles from your balance in seconds. No order queue, no operator, no waiting for business hours.
PNAS charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.
What makes a PNAS payment go through
PNAS sells digital access through its own checkout, and that checkout reads the card's issuing country. A PayFar Visa passes; the article you wanted opens on every device you sign in on.
News subscriptions often start at a fraction of the price and step up after a few weeks or months. The page shows the regular price for that reason: it is what the card pays once the offer ends.
The subscription belongs to the account that pays. Paying PNAS with your own card means the app, the website and the archive all open under your name, with nobody else's login involved.
