To pay using a bill payment service you need to add a payee to your bank account. To do this you need to know the payee name and your account number.

Payee Name

Each program has a different payee under Revenue Services of British Columbia. Some financial institutions will use a variation of the payee name. If you can't find us listed with your bank, call your bank for assistance.

Account Number

Your account number is listed on the top of your invoice (e.g. X001234567890).

At a government office

You can pay your RSBC invoice in person at a Service BC Centre. To make a payment you must have your account number (e.g. X001234567890) from your invoice.

Payments are accepted by debit, credit card, cheque, cash, bank draft or money order made payable to the Minister of Finance.

By mail

You can make payments in Canadian funds by cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the Minister of Finance through the mail. Do not send cash.

You should send your payment at least eight days before the due date if you’re sending it through Canada Post.

To make a payment write your account number (e.g. X001234567890) from your invoice on your payment so your account can be easily identified when your payment is processed and send it to:
