The RICS Corporate Payment Scheme enables firms with five or more RICS members (professionals and candidates) to manage their employees' RICS membership renewals through a single, consolidated process.
With the RICS Corporate Payment Scheme, your firm can:
- View and manage all employee memberships in one place
- Submit membership updates through the RICS Corporate Portal
- Receive a single consolidated invoice for all annual professional fees
- Maintain oversight of employee membership status and membership renewals
This streamlined approach simplifies administration and helps ensure employees maintain uninterrupted RICS membership.
