Overview
Alberta Energy and Minerals manages payment remittances across multiple divisions and branches, each with unique requirements and processes reflecting specific programs, commodities and obligations. Additional payment requirements, including any payment limits, restrictions, or commodity-specific instructions, can vary by business area. Clients should refer to the applicable payment section for specific requirements to support prompt posting, accurate allocation, and efficient payment processing. Payment allocation information must accompany all payments.
Payment methods
All Alberta Energy and Minerals remittances must be made payable to the Government of Alberta. Clients can remit payments using one of the payment methods outlined below, as applicable to their remittance type.
Mail or deliver cheque payments
Payments by cheque must be $25 million or less, and can be mailed or delivered to:
Alberta Energy and Minerals / Environment and Protected Areas
Main Floor Mail Room, North Petroleum Plaza
9945 108 Street
Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2G6
Note: Effective November 1, 2026, Alberta Energy and Minerals no longer accepts mail or in-person payments at its Calgary location. Refer to Information Letter 2026-22.
Payments over $25 million must be made by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)/Wire transfer or through the Electronic Transfer System extranet.
Deposit payments at CIBC
Clients can deposit payment at designated CIBC branches located in Calgary and Edmonton, listed below:
| Location | Transit # | Bank address | City |
| 00001 | 00059 | 10348 103 St. NW | Edmonton |
| 00018 | 00009 | CIBC Place, Bankers Hall, 309 8th Avenue | Calgary |
| 00023 | 08009 | Bow Valley Square 2 | Calgary |
A RapidTrans deposit slip required for this payment method can be obtained from the Alberta Energy and Minerals office in Edmonton.
If a client has a CIBC bank account number for RapidTrans, payment should be deposited into that account. If not, payment should be deposited into the generic bank account: Transit 00009 Account 09-35603.
A copy of the RapidTrans deposit slip, including allocation details must be sent to the
Financial Services Branch email address at [email protected]. This serves as confirmation of the payment remittance and is reconciled to the bank information received from CIBC.
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
EFT payments should be made to the account of the Government of Alberta:
Bank Name: CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce)
Beneficiary Name: PT-Mineral Revenue Account
Bank Address: 10348 103 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 0Y9
Bank No.: 010
Swift Code: CIBCCATT
Transit No.: 00059
Account No.: 00-54305
When setting up or updating your banking information for EFT, ensure the appropriate business area is copied on your authorization request.
Payment allocation information must be emailed to the Financial Services Branch prior to, or day of EFT payment at [email protected].
Auto-debit
Clients who elect to participate must authorize the department to automatically debit payments from the bank account indicated in a signed Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement. The completed agreement must be submitted by the client on or before the 15th of the month in which they wish to begin automatic debit payments.
Clients must complete the agreement each month to specify the amount to be automatically debited. Form submission due date is on or before the 5th last government business day of each month prior to the operational due date of the invoice. Any requests received after this due date will not be processed until the last day of the following month.
Note: This may not be a practical payment option for oil sands Crown royalty as the amount owing is typically determined after the Automatic Debit Remittance form submission due date.
Payment allocation
Payment allocation information must accompany each payment, regardless of payment method used, and must be received by the ministry's financial services branch on or before the deposit date to enable accurate allocation to respective accounts.
Payment allocation information must include the following:
- Operator/Designated Representative Name
- Operator/Designated Representative ID
- Remittance Reference
- Remittance Date
- Remittance Amount
- Activity ID Payment Allocation
If a remittance covers multiple payments, the activity ID for each payment must be provided. (examples: G94######, TPO######, OSR######)
Payments submitted without allocation, incomplete allocation, or incorrect allocation details, can result in misallocation or a return of the payment. There may be interest implications associated with the resulting allocations.
Commodity-specific payment information
Additional details about the oil sands payment process can be found in the Oil Sands Information Bulletin 2025-09.
For information on PNG Tenure payment processes and related requirements, refer to IB 2026-02 and IL 2006-10.
For oil transactions, refer to the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission (APMC).
Credit card payments may be available for certain programs or payment types. Confirm with the applicable program area before submitting payment by credit card.
Information Bulletins and Information Letters should be reviewed regularly. The department can update information to reflect legislative and process changes.
