The easiest way to pay is by UK debit card. Call us on 0800 181 4702 and we will take your details over the phone.
Alternatively, you can send us a fee cheque. If the shares are held in certificated form, this needs to be made payable to 'Link Market Services' and if the shares are held electronically, this needs to be made payable to 'Link Market Services Trustees'.
