Two easy steps
Contributing to a kin group is easy but it always takes TWO STEPS.
STEP 1: click the contribute button on your group's page and enter the amount you wish to contribute.
STEP 2: go to your bank app and make the contribution to Kin Cooperative Limited using the unique reference that was generated.
That's it. You will also be emailed the instructions (check your spam folders). Your contribution will now appear as "pending" on your group page. Once the money has been received, it will be available to your group.
If you realise you have made a mistake or have any issues with a contribution, 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.
