Paperless Billing
The CBA uses paperless billing, but members must opt in to go paperless.
Here’s what you should know:
- If you opt for paperless billing, you will only receive an electronic bill.
- If you want to pay by cheque, you can. You will have the option to print your notice, which can be submitted with your cheque payment.
- You can update your billing preferences at any time.
- If you are enrolled in a pre-authorized payment program, you can opt to receive a paperless copy of your annual renewal notice.
- If you need to make changes to your payment method, such as credit card number or banking details, or if you want to switch to paying your membership fees in full, update your account.

Refunds
The CBA’s refund policy stipulates that membership fees (or a pro-rated amount) are non-refundable.
Here’s what you should know:
- The amount due is an annual fee and should not be treated as a monthly subscription.
- Once your annual fees are paid, you are a member for that year.
- If you pay your annual membership fee in monthly installments, the entire remaining balance is due in full immediately upon cancelling your membership.
- If your fees are paid by your employer (or other third party), the CBA will not refund any portion of your membership fees to an employer (or other third party). If the relationship between you and your employer (or third party) ends, and your employer (or other third party) wishes to recover the CBA membership fees, they should recover those fees as part of the departure settlement.
