The online payment system is sponsored by YEF to the conference
organizers. If YEF can afford it, it can be part of the offering.

Just a reminder: YEF's funding comes from sponsoring from the

Given how the online payment system works, the option is going to
be available to all conferences (from the point of view of the bank,
there's only one organization that sells things online using its bank

Meanwhile, I'll start asking questions to the bank.
