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.

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
