Direct Debit
Paying by Direct Debit reduces administration costs.
If all British Museum Members signed up to Direct Debit over £40,000 would be saved each year; that’s why if you pay by Direct Debit today you will be sent a gift voucher worth £5 to use in the Museum shops as a thank you.
Gift Aid
Support the Museum at no extra cost to you.
If you are a UK tax payer, using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, the Museum gets an extra 25 pence from HM Revenue and Customs.
