If you would like to spread the cost of your TV Licence, you can join our cash payment plan, which lets you pay for your TV Licence in manageable instalments of as little as £5.50 a week.
The cash payment plan helps you pay for your TV Licence in regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments from as little as £5.50 per week. When you join you will be sent a payment schedule showing how much to pay and when. You can pay online, by text, at any PayPoint* outlet, or over the phone.
Once you've joined the plan, you’ll be sent a payment card and a schedule showing how much to pay towards your TV Licence and when.
If you pay weekly, you'll pay for your first TV Licence over six months in 26 weekly payments. After this, you can move to fortnightly payments towards your next TV Licence.
If you choose to pay monthly, you can pay for your first TV Licence over six months. After this, you begin to pay for your next TV Licence over 12 months so your payments will be smaller.
To enjoy the benefit of paying weekly, fortnightly or monthly, you must keep up the regular payments as shown on your payment schedule.
Online If you are an existing payment card customer you can make a payment on our secure site using your debit or credit card. You can also check your balance and view your payment history online.
To log in you will need to enter your surname and payment card membership number.
By text If you have previously made a debit or credit card payment towards your plan, simply text PAY followed by your membership number along with the amount you wish to pay to 64488.
For example if you wanted to pay £5.50 and your membership number was 123456789, you would text ‘PAY 123456789 5.50’ to 64488.
We'll never ask you to text your full debit or credit card number or details. All texts will be charged at your standard text message cost set by your mobile phone service provider.
