    WIPO Pay offers six (6) different payment methods to pay fees relating to Arbitration, Mediation and Expert Determination cases. 

    If you regularly use WIPO services, then a Current Account at WIPO – managed in Swiss francs – is perfect for you. It’s secure, fast, and free of charge and provides access to all payment activity.
    With a Current Account at WIPO you can pay in a currency different from Swiss Francs (CHF). In this case we will apply the official United Nations exchange rate (not the bank exchange rate).
    Make sure you have sufficient funds in your Current Account at WIPO before completing your transaction! 

    Available Credit/Debit cards are: VISA, MASTERCARD, CHINA UNION PAY, JAPAN CREDIT BUREAU (JCB), DINERS/DISCOVER, AMEX (CHF only).

    Extra verification may be needed. As part of a new security process to protect your payments (PSD2), your bank or card issuer may ask for extra confirmation to complete your payment. This extra layer of security makes your online card transactions safer and reduces the risk of fraud.

    To meet Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements, we will prompt your bank’s "3D Secure" identity verification when using a credit or debit card. This may include

    • a one-time passcode sent via SMS,
    • a password, or
    • fingerprint or face recognition.

    If you’re asked to verify your identity, just follow the instructions from your bank. If you run into any issues, please contact your bank or card issuer for help.
