Both organizations share the goal of developing optimal treatment solutions to the benefit of patients. This partnership dates back almost 40 years and is guided by the following statements:

  1. Straumann provides funding, expertise and support to the ITI
  2. Decisions are made in the mutual interest of both parties

I have a problem with credit card payment. My credit card has been refused by your payment partner Saferpay. Can you fix this?

Our payment partner Saferpay does not provide details about why a specific credit card was rejected. In many cases (e.g. temporary outages or your bank information could not be retrieved) the solution is simply to try again.

If the card payment continues to fail, please check with your bank to see if there is an issue with the card being used for international payments via the internet.

Because of security Problems, most banks have implemented very strict credit card restrictions in recent years.

Another reason could be that the “valid to” date of the credit card has almost been reached, in which case our partner Saferpay rejects the credit card.

Since their introduction in 2010, well over 650 ITI Study Clubs have been established around the world.
