Payment timeline

GIRO deductions are made on the 26th of every month from February to December.

If the 26th is a weekend or public holiday, the deduction will happen on the next working day.

Check for the exact deduction dates on our calendar by filtering for "GIRO deductions".

There is no deduction in January as the fees for January and February are combined into one bill for deduction in February.
There will still be deductions in November and December as the fees payable are calculated on an annual basis and spread out over a period of 12 months, including school holidays.

Please ensure sufficient funds in your GIRO account for successful deduction.
If the deduction is unsuccessful, the unpaid fees will be carried over to next month’s deduction as long as your GIRO arrangement is active. You do not need to pay through other methods.
Ad-hoc payments made on or after the 5th of the month could result in duplicate payments. Learn more about it.
