Paying your child's membership fee

If you have children linked to your account, you handle their membership fee straight from your own account. Your child does not have to do anything and does not need their own bank account for it.

What you can arrange

• Paying by iDEAL on your child's behalf — your child has their own card on your membership fee page and you pay the outstanding instalments the same way as your own.
• Signing a SEPA mandate on your child's behalf — a so-called parent mandate. You sign the mandate, and your child's membership fee is then collected automatically from your account.
• Choosing how your child pays — under How does … pay? with your child's name in it, you switch between automatic direct debit and iDEAL. If the association has chosen direct debit only for this membership, it says so and you only activate the mandate.

Step 1: Open your membership fee page

1. Log in with your own account.
2. Go to Membership fees. Below your own subscriptions is My family's contribution, with a card per subscription of your linked children. At the top of each card it says For with your child's name.

Step 2: Pay or authorise

1. Find your child's card.
2. Pay by iDEAL, or activate the mandate if collection is by SEPA direct debit.

Notifications come to you

All emails and push messages about your child's membership fee come to you as the parent: the pre-notice for a collection, a payment confirmation, and reminders when something is outstanding. Your child does not receive them.

An email about an outstanding payment or a missing authorisation contains a button that lets you pay or set up the direct debit for your child straight away, without logging in.

Frequently asked questions

• My child is not listed. Then the account has not yet been linked to yours as a family member. Ask your association to make the link.
• Can both parents pay? Yes, if both parents are linked to the child, both see the instalments and both receive the messages.
• Can I use direct debit for one child and iDEAL for another? Yes, the payment method is set per subscription, so per child.
• My child has their own account and wants to activate the direct debit themselves. As long as you as a parent are linked to the account, you arrange the mandate. Your child sees in the app that you are doing so.
• My child is now an adult. Ask your association to move the subscription to your child's own account; after that they handle their own membership fee.
