GIRO is an easy and convenient way for students to pay fees to or receive payment from the Polytechnic. All students are expected to have GIRO arrangement with the Polytechnic.

This form is to authorise the Polytechnic to deduct the fees payable by you directly from your authorized bank account through GIRO. It also serves as your standing instruction to the Polytechnic to pay all monies due to you (if applicable) to the same bank account, unless a separate instruction is given to us.

Before submission, please read the important notes stated on the form carefully and note that if your authorised bank account is :

• operated by signature
  • to sign as per the specimen signature(s) maintained at the bank. 
  • for joint accounts where 2 signatures are required, both account holders are to sign on the application form.
• operated by thumbprint
  • the bank account holder has to visit the bank personally to obtain the bank's verification on the thumbprint and endorsement on the application form.
