Buy a Proton subscription with a Visa card
Proton Unlimited, bought the way Proton intended
People choose Proton to get their email out of surveillance economics, which makes paying for it through someone else's account faintly absurd. Unlimited bundles Mail, Drive, VPN and the password manager under one subscription; a card in your own name completes the private-by-default arrangement.
Proton subscription price
Prices exactly as Proton charges them. Your card is billed in the same currency, and the conversion is quoted before you confirm, nothing is hidden in the spread.
PayFar charges no monthly fee on the card, you pay Proton only.
We never ask for your Proton login
Every other route asks you to hand over your Proton username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead, you pay Proton yourself, in your own name, from your own account.
Resellers and shared accounts
They pay on your behalf: with access to your account
- ✕They ask for your Proton email and password to pay for you
- ✕You wait hours: sometimes a day, for someone to process the order by hand
- ✕A middleman fee on top of the exchange rate, never itemised
- ✕One card funds dozens of accounts: they get flagged together
PayFar
You pay, yourself؛ we only issue the card
- ✓We never ask for your username or password: we have no way into your account
- ✓Pay Proton the moment you decide to: the charge clears instantly, at 3am if you like
- ✓No extra payment fee: just the rate of the day, shown before you confirm
Nobody logs into your Proton account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.
You enter the card at Proton checkout and the charge settles from your balance in seconds. No order queue, no operator, no waiting for business hours.
Proton charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.
What makes a Proton payment go through
Domains and security tools renew annually, and registrars are ruthless about lapses, grace periods end and names go back to the open market. Auto-renew against a live card is the whole game with Proton.
Registrars and VPNs discount year one and bill the real price at renewal. Nothing dishonest, but the card needs to cover the second-year figure, not the teaser.
A password manager or private email bought through someone else's login defeats its own purpose. Pay for Proton from your own account and the trust chain starts and ends with you.

1Password subscriptionBuying a Proton subscription: common questions
How much does a Proton subscription cost?
Proton plans: Standard $4.99/mo. Prices are exactly what Proton charges; PayFar adds no monthly card fee, and the conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.
How do I buy a Proton subscription with a Visa card?
Open a PayFar account; the virtual Visa card is issued in under 3 minutes. Top up at least $4.99, enter the card number, expiry and CVV at the Proton checkout, and set the billing country to the one on your PayFar profile. The charge clears in seconds.
What happens to my Proton renewal if the card balance is empty that day?
Most services retry for a few days before anything lapses, and PayFar's low-balance alert warns you first. Top up, the retry passes, nothing expires.
Should I buy one year or several?
For a domain you care about, several, renewal-price surprises skip you entirely. For VPNs and tools, the long plans are where the real discount lives anyway.
Can I move an existing domain onto this card?
Yes: update the payment method at your registrar, or transfer the domain to one that accepts the card. Either way the renewal chain ends up on a card you control.
