Direct Debit
Automatic collection of fees by
direct debit offers the greatest convenience and efficiency to
members for payment of their annual subscriptions from year to
year. The Royal College of General Practitioners operates two
types of direct debits for collection:
- Annual - a lump sum payment due on or
immediately after 1 April each year, which carries a £10 discount from
standard rates.
- Quarterly Instalments - payments by this
method allow you to spread the cost of your subscription fee
over the year. The four instalments are collected on
or immediately after the first working day of April, July, October
and January. Furthermore, a £5 discount is
applied against standard rates.
If you are unable to settle your
subscription fee in a lump sum or by quarterly instalments, the
College also allows monthly direct
debit payments (10 instalments in total) where possible. For
more information, please contact the Membership Support Department
on 020 7589 8710 (9am-5pm).
You will receive a minimum of two
weeks' written notice prior to the first collection in any
subscription year. If you wish to pay by Direct
Debit, please download the Direct Debit payment
forms (accessible via this link). The completed
and signed forms must be posted to the following
address:
