Once you have received a quote for a service from a member of staff, you can choose how you would like to pay.
You can:
- Pay by cheque or postal order made payable to Reading Borough Council.
- Pay by international cheque in pounds sterling made payable to Reading Borough Council, and drawn on a bank with a UK branch.
- Pay by credit or debit card online (except American Express).
Unfortunately, we are unable to take card payments over the telephone.
If you would like to make a donation, please see our Donations page.
Making a payment online
To pay online, simply click on the link below.
This will take you through to Reading Borough Council’s online payment system.
You will need to:
- Select the service you are paying for from the drop-down list.
- Enter the unique reference supplied by the member of staff you are dealing with.
- Enter the amount before entering your card details.
Unfortunately, the system is not a ‘shopping basket’ one, so you can only pay for one service at a time.
For example, if you have been asked to pay for research as well as copies, you will need to make two separate online payments – one for the research, and one for the copies.
We appreciate that this may seem a little clunky, but it is the only way that we can provide an online payment service at the present time.
