Please note that the PSI does not accept payment by cheque, bank draft, or over the phone. Please do not send debit or credit card details to us in the post or by email. 

Payment of fees for Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Assistants

The payment of fees for registration in the Register of Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Assistants must be made online by credit or debit card in the PSI Registration Portal.   

Payment of Fees for Retail Pharmacy Businesses and Internet Supply List

The payment of fees for registration in the Register of Retail Pharmacy Businesses and for the Internet Supply List can also be made online by credit or debit card in the PSI Registration Portal.  The benefit is that the payment is immediately linked to the application, supporting the timely completion of the registration application.

Where payment by card is not possible, payments may be completed by bank transfer/electronic funds. The PSI’s current bank details are included on all Fee Demand Notices that are generated when an application is submitted in the PSI Registration Portal and the 'Pay by Electronic Funds' option is chosen at the last step in the application process. Payments made by electronic funds transfer are required to include the Fee Demand Notice (FDN) number as a reference in the narrative of all bank transfer payments. Where this is not possible, an email remittance must be sent to financeteam@psi.ie. This remittance should include the date and total amount of your payment, the narrative reference used and a list of all the FDN references associated with the payment, together with the individual fee amounts. Omission of this information can result in significant delays in identifying and allocating payment to a registration application and could negatively impact an application status.

Payments for the Qualification Recognition (TCQR) process

The relevant fee payments for applications under the Qualification Recognition process should be paid by bank transfer/electronic funds using the details in the application fee payment form.

Payment Receipts

Receipts are issued automatically to the registered email address linked to applications made by debit or credit card in the PSI Registration Portal.

Receipts for payments made by bank transfer/electronic funds will automatically issue when the PSI allocates payment to your application. Any queries regarding your receipt can be sent to financeteam@psi.ie.
