• Why am I being charged extra on the first payment?

  We use a billing company called EzyPay. To enable your very first payment to be withdrawn, EzyPay must create a new account for you, this incurs a $5 set up fee.

  Your first payment will come out on the next working day, this will be inclusive of any joining fee and pro rata costs.

  Our billing company charges a $2 billing fee for all direct debit payments. There is also a $39 annual admin fee. The admin fee ensures that your direct debit payments remain at the same price point.
