Which form of payment cannot be used for issuing Travel Agency Service Fee (TASF) transactions?

• A. Cash
• B. Check
• C. Credit Card
• D. Wire Transfer

Answer: (A)

TASF payments must leave an auditable, traceable trail within ARC’s settlement system. Cash cannot provide that level of documentation, so it isn’t accepted for issuing Travel Agency Service Fee transactions. Acceptable methods—checks, wire transfers, and credit cards—create electronic records that can be reconciled and audited, ensuring proper accounting between the agency and ARC.
