The imposition of a parking fine is based on the registered owner/keeper as per the vehicle register, and Hafnarfjörður Parking Fund is not permitted to transfer the charge between parties. However, other than the registered owners/occupiers, the charge can be paid at banks, savings banks and via home banking.

A charge is generated in the home banking of the relevant owner/custodian when a fee is applied to the vehicle. The charge can be paid as soon as it is received through the customer's bank, building society or online banking.

• In online banking The charge can be found under the „unpaid demands or unpaid bills“ section. If someone other than the owner or occupier is paying the fee, they must enter the invoice number of the statement, which is done by selecting „Payments“ and then „Invoice“. Please note that it is not possible to transfer money into the Hafnarfjörður Parking Fund account; the payment slip must be paid.
• For your information, the „Payee's ID“ in online banking refers to the ID of the person registered for the payment. In this case, it is the ID of the vehicle's owner/keeper, not the person making the payment.
