Business name and company payment issues

We are currently experiencing connection problems with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission payment portal. This may affect you if you are applying for a business name or company using Google Chrome as a web browser.

To avoid issues, we recommend using Microsoft Edge or Firefox to apply for a business name or company.

If you have used Google Chrome and your payment screen has frozen or you have received a system error, you have not been charged.
