Making payments to SEMF

Electronic payments

We prefer it if you can pay for events and subscriptions by bank transfer rather than by cheque.


Setting up online payment details for Southern Early Music Forum

  1. Our sort code is 23-05-80 
  2. Our account name is ‘Southern Early Music Forum’ (not ‘SEMF’)
  3. Our account number is 36774908
    Confirmation of Payee: Your bank will probably run a check for the name of our account; this facility has now been implemented by our bank Metro Bank (May 2024).
  4. Please note that the account number and sort code changed in January 2020 when SEMF switched from Royal Bank of Scotland to Metro Bank.

Making an online payment for an event

  1. Please use the online application form if possible.
  2. When making your payment, please include in the payment details your name and the event you are applying for (e.g. ‘D Shaw Loud Wind’)
  3. Send an email message to treasurer@semf.org.uk to notify that you have made the payment.
  4. Send an email message to the event organiser to say that you have paid by bank transfer (or by cheque if you are using a postal application form).

Payments from abroad

  • IBAN GB30MYMB23058036774908
  • BIC MYMBGB2L

Subscriptions

Payments by cheque

  • If you are unable to make an electronic payment and can only pay by cheque, PLEASE ensure that you make the cheque payable to ‘Southern Early Music Forum’ (not ‘SEMF’).
  • Cheques made out to ‘SEMF’ and ‘S.E.M.F.’ are being rejected by the bank, which causes much administrative trouble to the Forum’s volunteer administrators.
