Payment Methods: Payment may only be made by using the WIPO Pay facility. WIPO Pay accepts credit card, bank transfer, PayPal, or Current Account at WIPO.

Payment Reason: When submitting a Complaint, please select “filing a complaint” as payment reason in the WIPO Pay facility. Please specify only one disputed domain name in case of multiple domain names while making the payment. Note: You do not need to obtain or include a WIPO Case Number when making the payment for your Complaint.
All bank charges, transfer fees, or other amounts that may be levied in connection with a payment made to WIPO shall be borne by the party making the payment.
