Renewals 2024 Payment methods

Making payment  

There are six ways to pay.  

1. Online 

This is the fastest and most effective way to pay your membership and/or firm fees. Simply log on to your member and/or firm dashboard using the respective passwords and make your payment in full via debit, credit or American Express card.  

2. Auto renew   

This method of payment automatically takes a payment from your credit or debit card in the first week of January every year.  

To set up you need to login to both your membership and firm dashboards (where applicable) to make your payment online as normal and then select auto renew. The following year your membership and/or firm fee will be taken automatically from your credit or debit card.  

To change your credit or debit card details log in to your member dashboard or firm dashboard using your member number or firm number and password.  

Failure of the payment being made will result in the full amount becoming due and late fees being applied. 

3. Direct debit

Direct debits are available to be set up against your annual renewal fees and the payment is taken in full in the first week of January every year.  Any direct debits received after 30 November 2023 will become effective for renewal payments from January 2024.

To set up a new  direct debit  simply download the  direct debit mandate, complete and return to us. 

4. Instalments   

The deadline for setting up instalments was 15 December 2023. 

Instalments are taken in three payments. To set up instalments you need to login to both your member and firm dashboards (where applicable) select this option and make your first payment. The second instalment will be taken on 4  January 2024 with the final instalment on 1 February 2024.
