Paying your rates from overseas

Our Online services portal is currently unavailable for customers outside of New Zealand.

If you live overseas and usually pay your rates online via our Online services portal, refer to the details below to pay your rates invoice by bank transfer.

Please note: you will need to pay the associated bank fee for the bank transfer otherwise it will result in your rates account being underpaid.

Bank account details

Account number	02-0924-0019668-02
Name of account	Invercargill City Council
SWIFT code	BKNZNZ22
Particulars	The name that appears on the invoice (12 spaces only available)
Code	LRA + the assessment number. E.g. the assessment number from the rates invoice LRA 99991/2 would be entered into the Code field as LRA99991/2

What if I want to pay rates for multiple properties?

If you own multiple properties it is essential that you setup separate payments for each rated property using it's own particular LRA number.

What if I have sold or purchased a property in the last 12 months?

If you have sold or purchased a property in the last 12 months, ensure you have updated the relevant payment reference details (LRA number) in your internet banking. If this information is not updated, payments will continue to be credited to your old property rather than your new property.
