Paying Your Fees Online

U3A Ringwood uses Member Wizard’s Member Portal application for all online class enrolments and payment of fees. To use it you must be an Active Member of U3A Ringwood. An active member is one that:

• Has non expired membership, or
• Has just joined us using the New Membership button on this page, or
• Has just renewed using the Renew Membership button on this page. 

• With the last two options above, you will receive an emailed invoice for the current membership period except in December when it will be for next year’s membership. 
• Being an active member is not the same as a financial member. You need to be a financial member to attend classes and events. 

A small number of classes charge fees. It’s the class leader’s choice how these fees are collected. They can be paid direct to the class leader or charged when you enrol in the class.

• Login to our membership system via the Member Portal button on this page.

• Click on Classes in Left Hand menu.

• Scroll up and down (or use the filters) to find the classes you wish to enrol in. The classes are sorted alphabetically.

• Click on the course to show its details.

• Read the details and, if the class is for you, click on Enrol Now. Repeat this for all other classes you want to enrol in.

• When you have selected all the classes you want to enrol in click on the green CHECKOUT button.

• Review Your Finalise Class Selection Summary. If all OK click on green CHECKOUT  button. You will be returned to the Member Portal Home page 

• You will receive an email invoice if a class fee is due on enrolment. You can also use Pay Owing on the Member Portal Home page and pay by card or get details on paying through your bank account.

If there’s  a fee payable, it’s easy to pay with a credit/debit card using the invoice we send you or using our Member Portal. 

Using Statement

• View statement online in your email application. If not in your INBOX check SPAM or similar email boxes.

• Look for Pay By Credit/Debit Card link on your invoice and enter card number, expiry date and CRV number etc. in relevant areas then click the button. U3A Ringwood and our card processor (STRIPE) do not keep your credit card information.

Using Pay Owing

If there’s an amount payable on your invoice it’s easy to pay your online with a Bank transfer via your online banking application. To use this method:

• Check amount owing on your emailed invoice or via our Member Portal. Both provide the amount owing and our Bank account information

• Login to your Bank’s online banking application. 

• Select Pay Anyone or Pay With PAYID or similar named option in your online banking application. 

• If using PAYID enter our PAYID treasurer@u3aringwood.org.au and the payment amount carefully. After you have entered the PAYID and clicked on VERIFY please ensure it shows as registered to U3A Ringwood Inc. Ensure that you have included your invoice number, surname and your member number in the narrative of your Bank transfer.

• If using Pay Anyone enter our bank account information and the payment amount carefully. Ensure that you have included your invoice number, surname and your member number in the narrative of your Bank transfer.

• Most credit/debit cards will work for STRIPE payments.

• If using Bank Transfer to pay your fees please use your financial institution’s Fast Payments/OSKO payments facility within their online banking facility. 

• Our PAYID is treasurer@u3aringwood.org.au. 

• If you’re worried about sending money to the wrong person, PAYID will help. When you make a payment to a PAYID, the owner of the PAYID is shown to you before you approve the payment.

• You can find out more about using PAYIDs from your Bank by googling for “XXXXXXX PAYID” where XXXXXXXX is the common abbreviation of your financial institution. For example you could search for “NAB PAYID” to find the National Australia Bank’s information on how to use PAYID with them.

• Please do not use a bank deposit at financial institution’s branch as some financial institutions do not allow narratives to be added for over the counter deposits or transfers. If you do, we will not be able to apply your payment.

• If you prefer not to pay online, you can pay your membership fee at our office by card, cash or cheque. Call us to make an appointment at our office .
