SUBJECT: PROCEDURE FOR PAYMENTS MADE BY INDIVIDUAL NURSE PRACTITIONERS

    1. PURPOSE
      • The purpose of this communique is to outline the process which should be followed when making payments to the South African Nursing Council.
    1. BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURE
      • The South African Nursing Council uses its Reference Deposit Account for payment of Fees and Fines payable by its clients. The reference consists of two parts:
    • Your SANC membership number (8 digits) – which is used to identify the person who is making the payment.
    • A payment type code (7 CAPITAL LETTERS – refer to 2.2. in this Circular) written immediately after the SANC membership number – which is used to identify what is the payment for.
    • The example below is how a correct reference will thus look like when making annual fee payment to the SANC:

                                                12345678ANLFEES

    In the above example, ‘12345678‘ is the SANC membership number and ‘ANLFEES‘ is the payment type code.  The reference is always 15 characters long.

    PLEASE NOTE:  the above reference is only an example, and it must not be used  for making any payment.  Nurse Practitioners must use their own SANC reference number as the account number and use the appropriate payment type code.

    2.1.4 The reference mentioned above should be quoted under beneficiary/recipient/target reference when making payment (not under ‘my reference’).

    • Listed in the table below are all the payment type codes that are used by INDIVIDUALS when making payments to the South African Nursing Council:
