What's IELTS?!
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's most popular English language proficiency exam. It's trusted by over 14,000 organizations across the globe, including countless universities, so it's no surprise that it's very much needed if you plan to study abroad.
The problem, though, is that paying for your IELTS exam can be quite a challenge. But don't worry because we've simplified everything for you!
Pay via Credit or Debit Card
Say you've already booked your exam. You will be redirected to the payment page, where you should choose "Pay online" if you wish to use your credit or debit card to settle your dues.
Click "Paypal," but don't worry because you don't really need a Paypal account to complete the payment process. Just fill out the form that will be presented to you, and then select "Pay Now" and wait for the confirmation.
It's quick, easy, and incredibly safe. It's one of the most popular payment options because of how straightforward it is.

Bills Payment Option
Just click the "Scan to Pay, Bills Payment, and Fund Transfer" option and then select "Reserve Now."
You will be redirected to another page, where you need to click the "View payment instructions" button. This is an important step, so be sure not to miss it!
Then, select "Bills Payment" to see the detailed instructions on how to complete the bills payment process. Before you know it, you've already completed your payment. Congratulations.
But before you go, be sure to take a screenshot of your e-receipt and then submit it to us via email for a smoother payment confirmation transaction.
Scan To Pay
This is arguably the easiest way to settle your IELTS dues because you simply have to scan the QR code, pay the right amount, and that's it. (#ScanNaAll, right?!)
If you're a fan of using e-wallets, regardless of whether it's Maya, GCash, or Shopeepay, then you'll definitely love this option. It's also great if you use online banking apps that allow QR payments.
Click the "Scan to Pay, Bills Payment, and Fund Transfer" button and then select "Reserve now." Choose "Cash" and then follow the link on the screen to view the QR codes.
If you're taking your exam in Luzon, use the QR code for the IDP Pasig Office. However, if you're exam will take place in Visayas or Mindanao, scan the QR code for the IDP Cebu Office.
Fund Transfer
This is another easy option and is recommended for those who have a Metrobank account. Just select the "Scan to Pay, Bills Payment, and Fund Transfer" option and then click "Reserve Now."
Look for the "View payment instructions" button and then choose "Fund Transfer" among the options. This way, you'll get to see IDP's bank details that you will use to complete the transaction.
Bank: Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company
Account Name: IDP Education LTD
Account Number: 6133 6130 74687 (Peso Savings)
Swift Code: MBTCPHMM
Once done with the transfer, be sure to take a screenshot of your electronic receipt. Send it to us via email (ielts.philippines@idp.com), and then wait for our confirmation.
