Convenience Fee

16 | Why do I have to pay a fee to use SurePay?

SurePay has provided the service from inception without any charge. In order to maintain the service and make further improvements it has become necessary to apply the Convenience Fee.

17 | Where can I pay my bills without any additional charges being applied?

Most Bill Payment options are already charging an additional fee.

18 | Why is the fee $3?

$3 is the absolute minimum charge that can be applied in order to maintain the service.

19 | Why is VAT included in the fee?

As a registered business SurePay is obligated by the laws of Trinidad and Tobago to charge VAT on any service it provides.

20 | What improvements can we expect to see from SurePay with the addition of this fee?

The introduction of this fee promises continued service excellence, expansion of payment locations and service upgrades.

21 | Can the $3 be deducted from my payment?

This is possible but the customer must advise the Teller of this immediately upon approaching the booth.

The customer must advise how much money should be paid toward the bill e.g. a customer with $100 should advise the Teller that $97 should be paid toward the bill.  The customer would then pay the $100 which would include the $3 fee and $97 would be entered in SurePay and paid to the Biller.

22 | What if I don’t have the additional $3?

The same process as above can be applied. The $3 fee must be paid.

23 | What if I have the exact amount due on the bill?

The same process as above can be applied. The $3 fee must be paid.

24 | Who do I contact if I have a query on a bill?

Customers should return to the Collection Point to enquire.

Customers can also visit the SurePay website at https://surepaybills.com/home-trinidad/  or send an email to surepaysupport.tt@pbs.group

25 | How do I know that the Teller has applied my $3?

The Convenience Fee will appear on the SurePay receipt along with the details of the payment.

Customers should always check the receipt before leaving the SurePay booth. No visible convenience fee means that the specific Biller has absorbed that fee on your behalf.

26 | I do not see the convenience fee of my receipt for certain bills?

The convenience fee will have been absorbed for those billers you are paying to.

27 | Do I need to pay a convenience fee if I’ve paid a bill prior to May 1st 2024 and I now require a reversal?

If a reversal is required from May 1st onwards, the convenience fee is now payable on that Bill.
