Instructions
The online membership application takes place on a secure server. We accept a variety of payment methods (more info). If you are paying by Credit/Debit Card, you will
be forwarded to our Card Processor's servers at the end of the application process. Once you have completed your application, your membership will only become effective upon processing and verification of your payment information by our office. This process usually takes 1-2 business days.
The Academy of International Business accepts the following forms of payment for all transactions conducted, including membership applications, conference registrations, and donations:
- Credit/Debit Card (Online): We accept Visa, Mastercard/Eurocard, American Express, or Discover. Your information will be accepted on a secure server and your Credit/Debit Card information will never be stored on our computers. If you choose this option, once you have entered your profile information you will be forwarded to our Credit/Debit Card processor's servers to enter your Credit/Debit Card information. The transaction will appear under the name "Michigan State University" on your Credit/Debit Card statement.
- Check or Money Order (via Postal Mail): You can also send a paper check or money order to us via postal mail as a form of payment. All checks and money orders should be made payable to the Academy of International Business (Federal Employer ID: #30-0876454). All checks must have micro-encoded banking information, including the ABA routing number at the bottom of the check, a US bank address, and have the US dollar amount imprinted on them. All checks and money orders must be denominated in US Dollars.
If you have any questions or concerns about the acceptable forms of payment, please contact the AIB Executive Secretariat.
Important: Please note that AIB memberships, once transactions have been finalized and you have gained access to membership benefits, are non-refundable and non-transferable. Memberships do not renew automatically, so you will always have a choice not to renew your membership and let it lapse without being charged again. However, we are unable to provide refunds for already processed memberships.
