FAQs

What is a customer payment reference number and where do I find it?

Your customer payment reference number is a unique identifier to be used when making payments to CIMA via the 24/7 global payment hotline. It can be found on the top of your financial statement in MY CIMA.

When I call the global payment hotline will I be speaking to a CIMA customer service agent?

No, this payment service is completely automated and as such removes the need to speak to a CIMA customer service agent.

Is the global payment hotline a secure payment method?

Yes, the payment hotline allows you to type in your credit or debit card number using your telephone keypad. This is a completely secure process as your card details are not stored on CIMA’s network.

If I have trouble completing my payment via the global payment hotline, will I be transferred to CIMA Contact?

That will depend on when you are calling. If CIMA Contact is open at the time of your call then you will be transferred to them.  However, if CIMA Contact is closed at the time of your call, you will be advised to contact them when they open or if applicable to contact your local office.

If I make a payment via the global payment hotline, when will that payment be reflected on my CIMA account?

The payment will be reflected within 24 hours.

If I make a payment via the global payment hotline, how/when will I receive confirmation of that payment?

Once your payment has been successfully made you will receive confirmation via email. You will usually receive this email immediately but please allow 24 hours.

How will I know that the payment I made will go into my account and not someone else’s?

Your customer payment reference number is unique to your account and any payment that you make using your customer payment reference number will only be allocated to that account. Providing that you hold an up to date email address, you will receive an email confirmation. You can also view the payment in your MY CIMA account.

I have previously chosen to store a credit or debit card with CIMA for future use - why am I being asked to re-save my details?

Due to a change in our payment system, any card details that you had saved in your my CIMA account will need re-saving on your next payment.

Can I still send in my credit card details?

No, you should not under any circumstances send your debit or credit card details through the post or by email or fax. If you do send in your card details, CIMA will destroy them and will not process the payment. Customers will be advised if this is the case.

Can I still send my payment by post?

Yes, you can. The only payment methods which CIMA accepts via post are cheque, money order, UK postal order or sterling bank draft.

Can I still pay by direct debit?

Yes, you still have the option to pay by direct debit, for UK banks only. You can set up a direct debit by logging in to MY CIMA and clicking on 'My direct debit details'.

If you are unable to resolve the problems with your online account, the best way for CIMA staff to help solve your query is to take a screen shot of the error message that is being displayed and email to cima.contact@cimaglobal.com using the subject line ‘Online Payment Issues’.
