How Registered Bodies pay for Disclosures:
- Payment can be made along with the application by enclosing a cheque or postal order for the appropriate amount, or by providing details of a valid credit/debit card from which the charge can be made; or
- Registered Bodies (RBs) who process 100+ Applications per year can arrange for Payment on Account status. This allows for Disclosure Applications to be processed during the relevant transacting period (monthly) with RBs settling the outstanding accrued debt at the end of the transacting period. Settlement can be either by way of ANI raising an invoice (for which payment can be by cheque or BACS) or by a Direct Debit arrangement.
RBs with a high volume of disclosure applications should seek to operate a Payment on Account arrangement, with account settlement by Direct Debit at the end of each transacting period. This solution represents the most efficient and cost effective means for RBs paying for the service. To aid this AccessNI will provide the RB with a statement of account prior to activating each (monthly) Direct Debit transaction.
