Payment methods
You can pay by direct debit (annual or quarterly payment), cheque, credit card, or bank transfer.
Annual direct debit is our preferred method of payment and carries a reduced fee, reflecting the lower administrative costs.
Those applying from EIRE may pay in Euros by cheque or bank transfer. For those applying from outside the UK and EIRE, we can make special arrangements to accept payment in Euros or other currencies - please telephone for details.
Direct debit
If paying by direct debit please, indicate on the application form whether you wish to make one annual payment or four quarterly payments.

There is no discount for payment by quarterly direct debit. The months in which the four payments are taken depend on when your completed mandate is received as follows:
