The fee

Membership fees on application.

Printed beside the tier before you apply, VAT shown separately. The fee never converts to Points.

The tax position of Kivo Points is subject to a formal tax opinion.

The card

Every card carries the firm's six-digit number and the legend on the back. Founding firms' cards read FIRST 500 with the year of admission.

Earned only on settled invoices with Stamped suppliers, at the printed rate. KP 100 = £1. Nothing on the fee. Kivo Points are your firm's trading receipt. They are earned at published rates, load only onto your firm's own Kivo Card and are never paid to directors personally. A formal tax opinion is being taken before launch; your accountant can read every line of your Ledger.
