  • Part payments

    You can pay your balance in instalments to make things more manageable. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a part payment via your myACCA.

  • Setting up a regular annual payment

    To make your annual payment quicker and easier next year, you might want to consider one of these options:

    Recurring Transaction Authority (RTA) allows you to give us permission to regularly take payment from your Visa (Debit/Credit) and MasterCard (Debit/Credit) for your annual subscription invoice. This is only available for open annual subscription invoices.

    One Click allows you to make a payment via myACCA with payment card details you have entered previously. Once a card has been used to make a successful payment, you can make future payments just by entering your card security number. This will allow you to make payments faster and easier without re-entering your details. Please note, One Click can only be used with Visa (Debit/Credit) and MasterCard (Debit/Credit) when saving the card details to your account.
