Potentially anyone who supplies a service to any IG P&I Club. Feesable is being offered to Club Correspondents first but in due course the service will be offered to lawyers, surveyors and other suppliers.

You need to be a supplier to one of the participating P&I Clubs. Registration only takes a few moments of your time. For more information please see our Registration page.

Feesable is offered free of charge and requires minimal investment in terms of time for familarisation with a simple and intuitive offline software tool and internet connection charges.

No additional costs are anticipated for Feesable in the near future. The elecronic version requires standard internet connection i.e telephone dial up, ISDN, Cable modem etc. Some users may wish to integrate Feesable with their existing software. The project is wholly funded by the International Group of P&I Clubs.

The electronic delivery service is internet based and therefore exposed to the regular security risks but still deemed more secure than the postal service. Only the sender and intended receiver can see invoices. Please note Feesable is NOT an electronic payments system and therefore the risk of a Club paying a fraudulent invoice remains the same as today with paper invoices.

No. You need to contact the Club and advise them of the error.

No. Invoices can only be sent directly to the Club's electronic post box. It is recognised that some correspondents with several offices prefer to have invoices processed and approved by one office. Depending on feedback received a change may be made in the future. In the meantime sub offices can send invoices by email. The receiver can move the invoice into their version of Feesable and send to the Club in the usual way. For more information on this please click here..

All Correspondents should register to use the service to create Feesable invoices. Invoices should be sent electronically to those Clubs who will accept them otherwise they should be sent in paper format in the usual way. Each Club will advise you what to do with supporting documentation
