Online Payment Portal
What is the Online Payment Portal
The Online Payment Portal is a digital platform for court users to make court-related payments. The portal supports electronic payments via PayNow and credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard), including overseas-issued credit cards.
Payments by PayNow are subject to the limit you have set with your bank. In addition to these limits, payments by PayNow are capped at $200,000.
Payments can be made via multiple credit and debit cards but payment by card is capped at $10,000 per payment advice or invoice. Payments by credit and debit card are subject to the limit you have set with your bank.
Note
You may pay via AXS stations at the State Courts (Level 4 and 7) and other locations islandwide, or pay via AXS payment services such as AXS mobile app or AXS web.
Flexible payment options for court fees, court fines and deposits
A single payment can be split across multiple payment methods using PayNow, credit and debit card. You can make payment using multiple PayNow accounts, credit and debit cards without needing to consolidate funds into one bank account.
Example
You can split the payment across different sources to pay a court fine of $20,000.
- PayNow from ABC Bank: $5,000
- PayNow from XYZ Bank: $5,000
- Credit card from XXX Bank: $10,000
