Subscription information

To support our members during the global coronavirus crisis, we have extended the payment schedule for the 2020/2021 subscription year. This means that you have until 14 November 2020 to pay your subscription without surcharge. The surcharge that will be applied for late payment on 15 November will be just 1%, with a further 1% surcharge added on 2 January 2021.  If your subscription remains unpaid by 15 February 2021, your membership will be cancelled.

If you need to make any changes to your subscription rate, such as applying for Dual Membership or a reduced rate, please do so before making any payment.

For full subscription information, please refer to the Subscription Policy.  You will also find all subscription rates from 1 October 2020 within the Membership Subscriptions Table.

Optional subscriptions

The IFoA also collects the optional subscriptions for the Staple Inn Actuarial Society (SIAS) and for the specialist sections of the International Actuarial Association (IAA).

The simplest way to subscribe to any of the optional subscriptions is to email membership@actuaries.org.uk.  We will set up the subscription for you and you can pay online.

Download the Sections Brochure for more information.

Dual Membership Status

Fellows and Associates of the IFoA who are current members at the equivalent level of another actuarial body which is a full member association of the IAA may apply for Dual Membership status.  If you meet the criteria detailed within the Dual Membership status application form, please complete and return the application to membership@actuaries.org.uk. Applications for the 2020/2021 subscription year must be made by 15 February 2021. 

Reduced rate subscription (income based)

If your income falls below the threshold for your membership status, you can apply for a reduced rate subscription. The income threshold for each category of membership for 2020/2021 are listed in the table below:

Applications for a reduced rate subscription can now be made online in the 'My Account' section of the website.

In the 'My Account' section of the site you can also:

• obtain your subscription notice under 'My subscriptions';
• make payments under 'My payments'; and
• obtain receipts for all payments made from 'My receipts and purchases'.

Reduced rate subscription (non-income based) for Fellow, Associate and CAA Members

You can also apply for a reduced rate subscription if you are:

• not in paid work which relies upon your actuarial training and experience, in the widest interpretation, or on your membership of the IFoA;
• in an actuarial role but do not work for more than 20 hours during the subscription year; or
• have exceptional circumstances that justify application of the reduced rate, such as serious ill health.

To make an application under the above criteria, please complete the application form and return to membership@actuaries.org.uk.

Members who are fully retired and have been registered as non-practising will benefit from the reduced rate subscription.
