What’s changing now at FiBAN from a membership perspective? What kind of improvements have we established to create a better membership experience for you?
This article summarizes which changes may affect your FiBAN membership, in a good way, of course!
Member portal: Replacing FiBAN Academy Online, Dealum and More
What can you do in our member portal? Previously, you had to jump from service to service and remember different credentials, but now we’ve minimized the efforts for you and made it as easy as possible. The portal is now open for FiBAN investor members. We’ll soon grant access to partner representatives too. Stay tuned!
In the member portal, you’ll find:
- Materials and instructions on how to apply for Credit Rating Protection. Apply it in the portal.
- Agreements, templates, and best practices. What you could formerly find at Dealum is now in the portal.
- FiBAN events, news feeds, and social media feeds.
- Event recordings
- Newsletter preferences: decide what type of communication you want from us.
- FiBAN Academy Online courses with all-inclusive access.
- Direct access to FiBAN’s Community Channels.
- Direct Access and instructions to join FiBAN’s Dealflow & Portfolio Management Tool Höpöhöpö.
- Member Directory: Contact information to network with your fellow angels.
Please login to your membership account here.
Note the following before trying:
- If it’s your first login, find your login instructions and credentials in your email.
- If you haven’t yet received the credentials, please check your spam folder.
- If you still cannot find an email sent from the FIBAN Member Portal, contact us.
Automatic Membership Fees: Now paid in the member portal
To make things as easy as possible, your membership fee is now automatically charged in the member portal. All you need to do is to log in and add your information and payment method. If you want to cancel your membership, you’ll have to cancel it by logging into the portal.
Other changes to membership fees approved in the fall
Note that discounts from answering our annual investment survey are no longer provided, as voted in FiBAN’s Fall Meeting 2024 by Members. Instead, the annual membership fee has been lowered to 475 for all members.
Cancelling your membership cancels your Credit Rating Protection
Credit rating protection is an instrument designed to protect investors and board members from receiving credit markings in the case of bankruptcy. You can soon apply the Credit Rating Protection directly in the portal. Until then, you’ll find the instructions and necessary documents for doing so from inside the portal.
The credit rating protection benefit only works if the protection has been set before a bankruptcy is filed.
Credit Rating Protection is a membership benefit you get for your membership duration. If you resign from the FiBAN membership, you’ll lose this benefit and its protection in case of bankruptcy.
Working Groups & Community Calls
We’re soon organizing different working groups for different tasks, development, and ways of getting more involved in our network. We’ll keep you updated on the process when they start and invitations for gathering are sent in our event letters.
We’ve launched monthly Community Calls, where you can join to share your ideas and feedback and maybe even take the stage yourself to share insights with your peers. Sign up for our next ones in Events.
And a reminder: FiBAN is turning 15 years old this year! We’re almost sold out for FIBAN’s 15th Anniversary Gala, but no worries! A handful of tickets are left, so grab yours while you still can.
