Are my group funds safe?

The money belongs to your group

It's not like putting money with a bank that holds it for you personally. When you contribute to your kin group it belongs to your group and your group makes the decisions about how to use it so it is important that you trust the people in your group and especially your group admin who is responsible for approving new members and withdrawals. 

Kin Cooperative is not responsible for the behaviour of people in your group. However, if a member breaks Kin Cooperative's rules or code of conduct, they will have their membership suspended or terminated. If you are worried about anyone in your group or you are unclear about how your group should work financially, you should contact the Kin Cooperative team immediately. 
 

Make a group agreement

Having a group agreement can increase trust and prevent against issues by making it clear that it doesn't benefit anyone to break the rules. In the UK, a written or even spoken agreement can be used as evidence in a civil court.
