Becoming a member
Start by understanding membership, what you may need and your responsibilities in a cooperative.
- 01
Explain your goal
Explain whether you want to save for your household, manage business money or prepare a project. Ask whether the service is available and who can use it.
- 02
Ask what to bring
Request the accepted documents, identity requirements and amounts payable. If you represent a group or business, also ask which authorisation records are needed.
- 03
Understand shares and savings
Ask how a cooperative share, a membership contribution and money saved in an account differ. Confirm how each can be accessed or returned if you leave.
- 04
Read before signing
Read the terms and charges, ask about anything unclear, and keep a copy of what you sign. Confirm how to raise a question and receive a response.
