Subscriptions
The annual subscription (£170 in 2007) is payable on 1 January each year. New members commence paying the annual membership subscription from 1 January following admission. The subscription rate is the same for all members irrespective of status or country of residence. (Please note that the admission to membership fee is a one-off payment and is totally separate from the subscription fee, which is due and payable on 1 January each year.)
Subscription notifications are sent to all members in November. You can pay your subscriptions via the following routes:
- by logging into myACCA and paying by Visa (including Delta and Electron), Mastercard, American Express or Switch (including Solo)
- by posting or faxing your card details on the remittance form provided with the annual subscription notification
- by a crossed sterling cheque, made payable to “The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants”. You should write your membership number on the front of their cheques.
Payment methods specific to UK members
- by direct debit or home banking. Payment by direct debit avoids the difficulties
that can occur when subscription notifications are mislaid or overlooked.
It ensures that payment is made on time and for the correct amount. Members with a UK Internet or telephone-based bank accounts offering automated bill payment facilities can make payment directly to ACCA’s account at Barclays Bank (account number: 40779938, sort code: 20-33-70). Those using this method must quote membership numbers as references. This account must not be used, in any circumstances, for over-the-counter payments
(Bank Giro Credits) or other forms of payment.
Payment methods specific to members based outside the UK
- by sterling bank draft drawn on a UK bank or through Girobank (where available). Membership numbers should be written on the front of bank drafts or British Postal Orders.
In countries where foreign exchange controls are in force, members are recommended to present subscription notifications to their banks well in advance of the due date for payment. Where payment is likely to be delayed by exchange controls, proof of local payment should be forwarded to ACCA.
Payment by mail transfer is not acceptable, except from members resident in Ghana. Members in Ghana are advised to contact ACCA for further advice concerning this payment method.
