What happens if I do not renew my membership?
If a membership is not renewed after receiving renewal reminders, it will automatically be lapsed. If
you were a certified member (CBCI, AMBCI, MBCI or FBCI) and your membership has been
lapsed, you can rejoin using one of the following options:
a) Pay all subscription fees from the date that your membership expired to present, thus bringing
membership up to date. This option is open for a maximum of 3 years, after that, option b) is
the only option.
b) Reapply for certified AMBCI, MBCI or FBCI membership under the current membership criteria and application process.
c) If you were a non-certified member and you wish to rejoin, you may renew as an Affiliate
without paying back fees.
When are my subscriptions due for renewal?
Membership fees are due for renewal a year following the anniversary of membership being awarded.
For example, if membership is awarded on the 15 June 2022 then the renewal fee would be payable
on 15 June 2023. An invitation and invoice to renew is automatically sent via email to each member
