Galpins is in the process of adopting a new online fee payment system. This system will provide a simple and convenient way for you to pay fees due online (including fee free payments from your nominated bank account) via your computer or smartphone.
Once the system is implemented, our clients will be informed by email each time a new fee invoice has been issued. Clients will be similarly notified if they have any outstanding fee invoices via email and SMS. These communications will contain a link to the Galpins secure payments' portal, allowing you to pay directly from the SMS or email. Additionally, clients will be able to pay by clicking the “Client Payment” button on our website.
You will also have your own online payment portal that will allow you to view all your invoices from us and any payments you make.
