How to pay: methods of payment
Direct Debit (UK bank accounts only)
Spread the cost of your membership fee over the year. Direct Debit is the safest, most cost-effective and easiest way to make recurring payments.
We offer three options for making a payment by Direct Debit:
- Annually: 1 instalment collected on or immediately after 1 April each year if set up before 16 March. 7 days from setup date or on 1 day of the following month if set up at a later date.
- Quarterly: 4 instalments if set up before 16 March, to be collected on 1 April, 1 July, 1 October, 1 January or immediately after. Dates and number of instalments vary if set up at a later date.
- Monthly: 12 instalments if set up before 16 March, to be collected from 1 April to 1 March or immediately after. Fewer instalments if set up at a later date.

If you're setting up the Direct Debit arrangement after 1 April, we will tell you your collection dates, as they won't be in line with the standard schedule.
We will write to you at least two weeks before to the first collection in April, in any subscription year.

We only accept MasterCard, Visa, Visa Debit and Maestro. We do not accept American Express.
