What is the difference between the registration fee and the subscription fee?

The registration fee is a one-time payment when you first join ACCA, while the subscription fee is a recurring annual payment required to keep your student status active.

When is the annual ACCA subscription fee due?

The annual subscription fee is due on or before January 1st each year. You should aim to pay it in December to avoid any issues.

What happens if I miss the payment deadline?

If you miss the subscription deadline, your status becomes inactive, and you may be removed from the student register, preventing you from entering exams until you are reinstated.

Do I have to pay a subscription fee if I'm not sitting exams this year?

Yes, you must pay the annual subscription fee every year to maintain your student status, regardless of whether you plan to sit exams.

How can I be sure I'm not overpaying or missing a payment?

Regularly check your account status and transaction history through the myACCA portal. This is your single source of truth for all payments and deadlines.

Can I pay my ACCA fees in instalments?

No, ACCA does not typically offer instalment plans for registration or subscription fees. These amounts must be paid in full by the deadline.

Is there any financial support available for ACCA fees?

ACCA itself does not offer direct financial support, but some employers sponsor their trainees by covering fees, and in some regions, local accountancy bodies may offer scholarships.

How much will the fees be after I qualify as a member?

Once you become a full ACCA member, you will pay an annual membership subscription fee, which is higher than the student subscription fee, to maintain your member status.
