Two easy steps (membership)
Paying your membership is easy but takes TWO STEPS.
STEP 1: click the set up a regular membership donation button on your home page or on the Kin Members group page and type the amount you wish to contribute and how often: weekly or monthly.
STEP 2: go to your bank app and set up a weekly or monthly standing order to Kin Cooperative Limited using the unique reference that was generated.
That's it. You are now a full member of Kin Cooperative! You will also be emailed the instructions (check your spam folders).
Changing your membership payment
If you decide to change the amount you are contributing regularly, you can do this on your member home page.
STEP 1: change the amount of the contribution on your member home page.
STEP 2: go to your bank app and modify the standing order. You may need to cancel and set up a new standing order if your bank does not allow you to change it.
IMPORTANT: if you cancel your regular membership donation, your Kin Cooperative account may be frozen. If you have any issues with a membership payment or need to discuss your cicumstances with us, you should WhatsApp Kin (faster) or contact Kin.
Why two steps?
Two reasons:
- Payment providers like PayPal, Stripe and WorldPay store your data and charge fees for every transaction and we don't think your savings should be generating profits for wealthy shareholders.
- Making transactions from your bank to Kin's bank is as safe as paying a friend. It means Kin Cooperative never needs to store your card details, which means being less of a target for cyber criminals.
