This mode of payment will save you time and money and your membership will always be up-to-date when booking for a show. No more renewal notifications, letters, cheques or trips to the Box Office. An email account is required in order to setup online Direct Debit.
In order to set-up the DD and handle money transfer between your bank account and the FOST account, FOST is using GoCardless Ltd which is certified by the FCA (number 597190) and is a BACS approved bureau.
FOST does not have access to your bank account details. Only GoCardless handles bank account information.
No initial payment will be retrieved from your account without notification.
If there are any changes in membership fees or dates you will be notified by email before payment.
The first payment will be taken shortly after your account is set-up for new members or when your existing membership expires for existing FOST members.
Once completed and submitted the form will go to the Membership Secretary who will initiate the setup with GoCardless.
