Making card payments by telephone

We have recently changed the way we take card payments over the 'phone.

If you call us to make a payment, we will ask you to make your payment by inputting your card details directly into your 'phone.  It's quick and easy, and a secure way of entering the details.  The card data is captured by a secure telephone line and passed directly to the bank, without anyone but you knowing these details.  The Membership team can be contacted on: +44 (0) 131 240 1325.

Before making any payment, please ensure that your subscription notice shows the correct subscription rate.
