FAQs

Starting a new group is easy!

1. Log in: then click "create group" on your Member Home Page.
2. Choose a name: give your group a unique name that will be recognisable to the commuity you have in mind.
3. Add a description: you can also add a description describing the purpose of the group, who it's for, and any rules you have in mind.
4. Share your group: once a group is started, you can send the name to the people you want to join. They will need to become a kin member to join.
5. Admins: The person who starts a group becomes that group's admin. Groups need multiple admins so that no admin can approve a request for money from themselves. Admins can promote other members to be admins. As an admin, you are more responsible for your group and should approve requests quickly and help to resolve issues. Groups work best when admins aren't tyrants - ask your kin for their opinions and for help when you need it.

Kin Cooperative is a not-for-profit but we need to cover our operating costs to keep the service available. 

That means we are asking a small administrative fee from individuals of just £1.00 per month. 

If you are able to afford more, we can improve the service if those who are better off financially make an additional monthly donation to Kin which can be done via our contributions page: here.

In order to pay your one-off membership fee and to contribute to your groups, you will need to add Kin Cooperative Limited as a payee with the details sent to you. 

• Go to your banking app
• Navigate to payments, add a new payee or save as a payee after making your first payment
• Once added, it's easy to select Kin from your payee list

Kin's accounts are held by The Cooperative Bank.

If you have any issues, please contact your account provider.
