Managing payments on the Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR)

Your invoicing and payment options 

Many online services can be completed on the FSPR free of charge. If there is a fee, we’ll let you know how much it is and offer several payment options. You're responsible for the payment of all fees and levies charged to your online services account, no matter who uses it.

Schedule of fees and levies

Where an online service has a fee attached, a message appears showing the fee and giving you the option to ‘Process Payment’, or ‘Cancel’ without completing the transaction.

Our schedule of fees shows which online services you must pay for.

Selecting a payment method

We offer the following payment methods.

  • direct debit
  • credit card or debit card
  • internet banking.

Paying by direct debit

Once you’ve created your online services account, you can arrange to pay by direct debit.

How direct debit works

Our direct debit payment option allows you to complete transactions online and charge them to your online services account. You then receive an invoice at the end of each month. The amount owed is deducted from your nominated bank account on the 20th of the following month. If the 20th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the payment is processed the next business day.

The direct debit payment facility can be used by an individual or organisation online services account.

Information you'll need to provide

To set up direct debit payment you'll need to provide:

  • details for the bank account from which funds will be deducted each month
  • an email address so we can send a Direct Debit Authority Form to sign and return
  • an email address where we can send your monthly invoices.

Completing a Direct Debit Authority Form

After you've submitted your direct debit request, we’ll send you an email with a Direct Debit Authority Form attached. You must sign and return this before we can activate the direct debit facility on your online services account.

You can return the signed Direct Debit Authority form by:

  • post, to the address at the top of the form, or
  • email.

Paying by credit or debit card

If you use our online services less frequently, credit or debit card is a practical payment option.

We accept the following credit and debit cards.

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Diners.

We offer secure credit and debit card transaction facilities. Your payment, if successful, is confirmed immediately on screen and by email. 

Paying using internet banking

If you haven't set up a direct debit payment option, and don't wish to pay by credit or debit card, you can pay your fees using internet banking. We use the Windcave payment gateway.

If you choose this method of payment, you'll be asked to log in to your bank account using a secure Windcave webpage.

You can view and download details of your invoiced transactions, and also fees you've been charged, payments you've made and credits you've received.

Tracking your invoice and payment history

To find your invoice and payment history, log in to your online services account, navigate to your dashboard and follow these steps.

  1. From the ‘Accounts’ menu select ‘My invoices’.
  2. Change the search criteria at the top of the screen to filter the available information to show:

    • the status (All, Open, Closed).
  3. You can also:
    • change the start and end dates of your search in the ‘Date Range’ field
    • search for a particular invoice using the invoice number, client reference, entity name or entity number (being the FSP number).
