New Finance Policies

Credit/debit cards: No processing fee. Paying online in myTPSA automatically tracks and applies to the correct invoice, so it’s usually marked paid almost instantly after checkout.
Mailed checks: Strongly discouraged as they’re slower, less secure, and add volunteer workload. If you choose this method, you must include an additional $25 processing fee. This is not shown on the invoice total and must be added by you. Omitting it will leave a $25 outstanding balance on your invoice. Not paying the check fee on a membership invoice may result in your inability to register for competition, if there is a balance.
Shareable invoice link: From any invoice in myTPSA, click “Sharable Link” to give your accounting department direct access to view and pay the invoice without your involvement.
