If you wish to pay quarterly or monthly please contact [email protected] as your invoice will need to be re-issued.

Credit/Debit Card - Pay your subscription annually by Credit/Debit Card - You can use the secure online payment option on your renewal notification and clicking on the 'card' icon in the bottom left corner to make an online payment. 

Cheque or Postal Order - Pay your subscription annually by mailing your cheque or postal order (made payable to “Chartered Trading Standards Institute” and quote your six-digit invoice number on the reverse) to the Institute head office.
