How to Pay by e-Transfer
- Verify that the information we have on file for you is correct (login in the top right corner of this page), including the name and email address of the primary membership holder as well as any co-owners and associate members related to the account. This is an important step so we can match your e-transfer to your membership.
- The payee for the e-transfer is payments@westcarling.com
- Include in the “optional Message” section of your e-transfer the full name of the primary account holder, and if making a payment for anything other than your membership renewal ($100) please include a breakdown of the payments, including the names of any associate memberships and any additional contributions to the WCA or GBA as applicable. For example, for a $165 e-transfer the note may look like “Jane Sample – Primary $100, John Sample – Associate $25, WCA $20, GBA $20
Note: If you don’t include the breakdown, the first $100 will be applied to your primary membership for the calendar year in which it is received and any additional money will be applied as a WCA contribution for the year in which it is received. If you have already paid your membership for the calendar year, all the funds will be attributed as a WCA contribution.
