Paying for ECFMG certification from India
In India, fund GetPlu with bank transfer or stablecoins, then use your GetPlu Visa when international processors decline domestic cards. Use /pay/how-to-pay-for-usmle for Step exam scheduling payments where applicable. This page covers ECFMG program and certification-line fees on ECFMG.org.
What works
Fund a Visa before deadlines on pathways that require sequential payments. In India, that usually means a Visa profile that authorizes like US/EU shoppers - not a domestic-only debit curveball at renewal.
With GetPlu
Use GetPlu Visa on ECFMG secure payment flows.
