Pay a fine by internet banking

You can pay a fine by automatic payment from your bank account.

From your internet banking page search for 'Ministry of Justice - Fines' in payees. You can also use these account details:

Account name: Ministry of Justice - Fines

Account number: 03-0049-0001055-01

To make sure your payments go into the right account use these references:

Particulars: The last name and initials of the person who owes the fines (for example, SMITH JS). If you are an employer making bulk payments, put your company name.

Code: The letter 'P' then your 10-digit fine (PPN) number (for example, P1234567890). You can find your PPN on any letter about the fine. For bulk payments, put 'Salary/Wages'.

Reference: The word FINES

Employers making bulk payments must provide a payment schedule

If you are making payments in bulk, remember to send us a schedule with details of the payments so we can allocate the money correctly. This must be in an excel format.
