Paying Fees

Some services have a fee. You can pay securely online by card.

The payments screen Your payments — see what's due and your payment history.

How to pay

When a fee is due, the Portal shows the amount and a Pay button. This may appear right after you submit, or under your application later.
Select Pay.
Enter your card details on the secure payment screen.
Confirm the payment.

Once it goes through, your application automatically continues to the next stage — you don't need to do anything else.

After a successful payment:

You'll see a confirmation on screen.
A receipt is emailed to you, showing the amount, reference number, and transaction details.
You can view payment history under Payments in the menu.

Fees are shown in Bahamian Dollars (BSD).
The amount is set by the service you're applying for — some are a fixed fee, others depend on options you selected in the form.

Yes. Card payments are processed by a trusted, secure payment provider. The Portal never stores your full card number.

Make sure your card details and billing information are correct.
Try again, or use a different card.
If money left your account but the application still shows awaiting payment, wait a few minutes and refresh — confirmations can take a moment. If it still looks wrong, contact BAHFSA with your reference number.
