How do I pay contributions manually online?

Each time contributions are due, you’ll need to complete and submit a contribution schedule which confirms the amount of contributions you’re going to pay for each member.

There are four ways to submit contribution information to Nest:

• Manually Online
• Upload a File
• Secure File Transfer
• Web services – through your payroll software.

We generate contribution schedules for you. To view your schedules, go to ‘Manage contributions’ from your Nest home page. Here you’ll find the list of contribution schedules due for payment.

You’ll need to complete and submit the schedule to us at least 5 working days before your payment due date. This is because it takes 5 working days for the payment to be received and applied to employees’ accounts. To do this online, click the Edit/Pay arrow next to the schedule you want to pay.

The payment process will vary depending on the payment type you’re using.

• Direct Debit -You’ll be asked to select ‘Pay now’ or ‘Pay later’. If you select ‘Pay now’, you’ll see a message confirming the payment is in progress and the money will be collected within five working days. If you select ‘Pay later’, you’ll get an option to select a date in the future. You’ll be able to select any date between three working days from the present day and one working day before the payment due date of the schedule.
• debit card – you’ll need to follow the online instructions to make a payment.

Once the payment is cleared and allocated for all members, the contribution schedule will move to the Paid schedules area of your ‘Manage Contributions’ page. To make sure the payment reaches on time please submit the payment at least five working days before the payment due date.
