How to pay your fees

Payments for vets and VNs fees

Veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and new registrants should pay their fees via My Account using one of the methods below. New registrants applying to register with RCVS should wait until they have submitted their application for registration before making a payment. Receipts will be automatically emailed to you following payment, and these can also be obtained from My Account. 

Via debit and credit card

Login to My Account and pay your fees by debit or credit card on or before the due date. We accept Visa debit and credit cards, and Mastercard. There is no charge for paying by either debit or credit card.

Via direct debit

Direct debit payments are collected annually on, or shortly after, the fee collection date. To set up a direct debit instruction, login to My Account and select the fee(s) which you wish to pay. This option is only available for personal (not business) UK bank account holders, and the direct debit instruction must be submitted at least 12 days prior to the collection dates.

Other methods

We regret we do not accept payments from individuals by bank transfer, cheque or over the telephone.

Employers wishing to pay annual fees on behalf of their employees may use our corporate scheme for bulk payment, subject to eligibility. If you wish to enquire about the corporate bulk payment scheme, please contact finance@rcvs.org.uk at least 3 months prior to the renewal date so that we can include you in the corporate bulk payment process. 

Employers should not make bank transfer payments for any veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse fees on behalf of their employees unless they have received an invoice from RCVS under the corporate bulk payment scheme.
