You can read more about OCN’s promises, obligations to Members and Members’ obligations in our Alpha Membership Agreement.
In future phases we will be charging fees in order to be able to fund the operations of The Open Credit Network.
- Membership Fees are set according to which plan Members are subscribed to.
- Any Member wishing to leave The Open Credit Network before the next phase will be required to bring their account balance to zero or positive.
- Members wishing to increase their credit limit should contact the Admin Team to provide details about their number of employees, incorporation etc
- Transaction Fees will be set at roughly 2% and will decrease as the network grows – but are waived for all Trading Members during the Alpha phase.
- As we are a co-op, Members will have a say in how fees are set, and the allocation of any profits.
