The executive has made enquiries with various banks regarding the costs associated with CSASI being able to accept payment using credit cards. If CSASI were to accept just Visa and MasterCard we would be paying a monthly fee to both banking groups as well as a fee for each transaction.
Without raising the annual dues this payment method is not feasible. The executive has determined this raise in annual dues would be unacceptable to the membership and has therefore decided to keep the status quo.
