Payment by Direct Debit

If you have a UK bank or building society account all dues can be paid by direct debit on 1 February 2009, provided that IStructE receives your completed direct debit mandate by 3 January 2009.

If you have already given IStructE a direct debit mandate, your remittance advice will show ‘DO NOT PAY — Direct Debit’, in which case you should not complete a new mandate form unless you have changed your bank account.

If you have paid your dues by direct debit in previous years but now wish to pay by another method, you must advise IStructE accordingly by 3 January 2009.

Currency

The subscription notice is printed in pounds sterling. If you do not have a UK bank account, and if you do not pay the sterling amount by credit card, please ensure that your remittance is in the form of a bank draft in sterling drawn on a bank in the United Kingdom, and that the full amount due reaches IStructE. If necessary, please make early arrangements for exchange control.
