     To avoid the possible inconvenience of queueing, members of the public are urged to settle Government rent through various electronic means such as Autopay, Bank Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Payment by Phone Service (PPS), bill payment services provided by banks and PPS on the internet (please visit the Treasury's website: http://www.try.gov.hk) or at any ESD kiosks.  
 
     Payment may also be made by e-Pay Station Bill Payment Service or by sending a crossed cheque to PO Box No. 28000, Gloucester Road Post Office, Hong Kong, or in person at any post offices (except mobile post offices).
