1. Sign up for a Profile, then add an Account

When you sign up on Billing & Payment Services, you create a Profile that stores your email address, online payments, credit cards (if requested), and provides a central place to access the Accounts this website serves. You can find your Profile under your name in the top right hand corner, or under the Menu on a mobile device.
Once you have signed up, you can add your Revenue Services of BC accounts to your Profile. Your Account is a program account number, such as your MSP or Student Loan account, or a number used for invoicing outstanding fees, for example, an ambulance service or court fine. Your Account Number is displayed on your invoice.
If you are logged in when you make a payment, your accounts appear automatically on the Home page and on the Accounts Section.

2. Sign Up, Login, BC Services Card, Changing Your Email Address

If you did not receive an email to verify the email address you used to sign up, you may have signed up with an incorrect email address. Please sign up again.
You can change your Login Email ID in your Profile. Note that you can have only one email address on your profile. Billing and payment communications and notifications are sent to this email address.
Your Login ID and Billing & Payment Services Profile do not expire.
Use the BC Services Card app to log in. It’s safe, quick, and easy! You must have the BC Services Card app set up on a mobile device. Only cards with a photo are accepted.
Learn more about using the BC Services Card.
If your BC Services Card is no longer valid, please contact us to send you a link to set up a password and security answer so that you can access your accounts without your card.

3. Account Number and Account not Found

Most invoices accepted on this website display a Revenue Services of British Columbia (RSBC) logo. RSBC account numbers begin with an X and are 12 characters in length.
For MSP, the account number begins with X36 – note that the account number is not your Personal Health Number. See a sample invoice.
MSP Group Plan Payments - accounts beginning with X34, are not accepted through this website.
Ambulance Services Account Numbers are labeled RSBC Account Number (X39 ...). See a sample invoice.
Court Fines, and Student Loans – if your bill is not overdue, your payment options may be different, and your invoice account number will not begin with X. Please check the Directory section for links to other ways to pay.
An Account Not Found error can mean that the Account Type (e.g. Student Loans) you have selected does not match with the Account Number. If you are sure you have the correct Account Number, check that you have selected the correct Account Type above the Account Number.

4. Credit and Debit Card Payments

Bank debit cards and Interac are not yet accepted for payment. American Express, Mastercard and Visa credit cards, Debit Mastercard and Visa Debit are accepted.
Payments are transacted in Canadian currency and may appear on your statement as Revenue Services BC or Province of BC.
There is no additional fee or service charge for using the payment services. Some card issuers post a card validation transaction to the card at time of payment; this transaction charge is removed when the payment is accepted.
The name on the credit card does not need to match the name on the invoice or account that you are paying – you can make a payment for someone else’s account.
Errors or Overpayment - If you made an error with your payment, please contact us.

5. Updating Card Expiry or Removing a Payment Card

Expired card, card name changes and card updates:

You can update your card expiry date in your Profile under Payment Methods (click on your name in the top right after you log in, or for mobile users, look on the menu).
Updating your card expiry will automatically update any Auto Payments associated to that card.
If you need to change the name on your card, or the card number, please remove the card and add it again as a new card with the new information. For your security we don't store the full card information and so only the expiry date can be updated for a saved card.
You can save up to 5 credit cards.

Removing a card from your profile cancels any Auto Payments associated to that card.

Note that canceling Auto Payments does not cancel your account with the program, you are still responsible for any outstanding balance, address or enrollment changes or other requirements by the Program or Service.

6. Other ways to pay

Check the Program or Service Page under Directory for links to other payment information about the Program – addresses for mailing a cheque, paying at your bank, etc.
Auto Payments (pre-authorized monthly payments by credit card or bank withdrawal) – you can set these up yourself online.
Pre-authorized debit is available for other programs by sending in an application form. Please visit How to Pay on gov.bc.ca to download the form.

7. Payment Processing Time

Your payment must first be processed before you will see a change to your account balance.
It can take up to 3 business days for a payment to be processed and update your account balance, depending on how the payment was made. If more than 3 business days have passed, and your payment has not posted, please refer to your financial institution/credit card provider to ensure the payment was made to the correct account, otherwise contact us.
When you are logged in, your Account History keeps a record of the payments you made on this website. Your credit card statement will also record the payment.

8. Payment Dates

The due date is shown on your invoice, and, if your account is verified, the due date is displayed on the Account Detail page available from the Accounts Section.
Some payment types take longer to process, please make your payment 3-5 days before the due date to ensure that the payment is processed by the due date.
Recurring payment dates differ from the due date and can occur shortly after the due date without penalty. Please see the Terms and Conditions of your auto payment method.
Future dated credit card payments are not available at this time. One-time credit card payments will be charged on the current date.
You can prepay your account any time. New charges will be taken first from any remaining credit balance.

9. Refunds and Account Balance

Your account balance is on your invoice. If the program or service allows verified access to your account, once you verify, you can see the account balance on the Account Detail page. Link to your Account Details from the Accounts Section.
The account balance shown on the website is as of that day. It will not include any pending payments or recent transactions that haven't yet been posted.
If your account balance is not what you expect, recent transactions or changes may not yet have been processed. Recent payments can take up to 3 business days to process and may not yet be posted to your account. If you set up Auto Payments, the first payment may still be in the future and will include any outstanding balance from the previous month.
Any credit you have on your MSP account that qualifies for a refund may be applied to any outstanding account you have with the Province of British Columbia.
For refunds and to discuss account credits, please call or contact us by email at RevenueServicesBC@gov.bc.ca with your account number, full name, current mailing address and daytime phone number.

If you use a BC Services Card to log in, you don't need a password or security question as long as you continue to log in with your card. If you will need to log in without your BC Services Card, contact us to send you a link to set up a password and security answer.
Forgotten Passwords – if you do not remember your password, click the Forgot Password link on the Login page.
- You will need to enter the email address that you used to sign up.
- You will then be asked the security question you chose when you signed up, and then emailed a link to Reset Your Password.
- You can not use the same password twice.
Forgotten Security Question – you can try multiple times without being locked out, or contact us to request a password reset.
- For your security, after the 3rd incorrect security answer, you will be asked to enter the numbers you see in the image. This helps to prevent unauthorized robot attempts to guess your security answer.
- If you can't remember the answer to your security question, contact us to send a password reset link. The link expires in 24 hours.
