If you would like to pay by EFT payment at the bank or via the internet, you should fill out an EFT form. It is your responsibility to include a reference number of up to 18 characters. We prefer that you quote your application or registration number/s in your reference where possible. If using EFT please ensure you send us the EFT form as failure to do so may affect your IP right.

This can be up to 10 working days, so please enure you allow sufficient time for this method of payment.
