Enrol for Release Prior to Payment
How to post financial security

Make a payment

Now that you have posted a security deposit on your account, you must make a payment.

1. On the Confirmation of successful bond posting page, select Make a payment
2. On the Online payment page:
   • Enter the same bond amount from the Post cash bond page and click Make payment
   • Read the Terms and conditions and confirm your understanding by checking the box and clicking Agree
   • Enter your credit card information on the Payment information page and click Pay

If the payment is processed, the Transaction approved page follows. Print or save the receipt by selecting Print and then click Back.

Allocate a credit

Now that you have posted and paid it, you must allocate the credit to complete the process. You have the option to allocate the credit yourself or wait. If you wait, the CARM Client Portal system will automatically allocate it for you the next day.

To allocate the credit yourself:

1. Select Allocate credit and click on the Cash tab, where your security deposit will appear as Requested under the Status column (your total security requirement will appear at the bottom right of the page)
2. From the main menu dropdown, go to the Payments page
3. Select Allocate credit as payment

The Allocate credit as payment page shows a list of all transactions. The security you posted will appear here as a Security deposit under the Description column.

Check the box(es) next to the security deposits you want to allocate and click Submit. You will receive a confirmation of successful credit allocation.

Complete the sub-program enrolment process

Follow these last steps to complete your enrolment in RPP using a security deposit:

1. Select Return to enrolment
2. Select Submit security

Post non-cash security agreement

1. From the main menu dropdown, go to Financial information and select the Financial security page
2. Under Bond list select +Add bond and under Bond type select Non-cash and click Next

Note: In case you decide to use one single security to obtain RPP for multiple RM import accounts, repeat steps 3 a to 3 g above for each RM account, repeating the same financial security number in the bond number field.

Complete the sub-program enrolment

If you enter the security agreement details yourself, you must wait for your financial security provider to approve the details. Similarly, if your financial security provider submits the security using API, you are still required to enrol for RPP in the CARM Client Portal.

Note: The CARM system will send you a notification when the agreement has been approved. You may also enable email notifications through your personal preferences page in the CARM Client Portal.

2. Under Bond list, select the Non-cash tab and view the Status column:
   • Under guarantor approval means your financial security provider has not yet approved the request
   • Active means your provider has approved the request and uploaded the agreement
3. Once the security agreement has been uploaded, select Submit security
