How to Pay Annual Dues

Annual dues are what keep Metro BMNY running. They fund the group life insurance benefit, cover the cost of monthly meetings and events, and support the association's work for building managers across the five boroughs. This page explains how to pay your dues — either online through the member website or in person with cash or a check.

What you need

  • Your member website login (see How to Log In if you need a refresher)
  • A credit or debit card, if you are paying online
  • A few minutes — the online checkout takes about two minutes from start to finish

Paying online

The quickest way to pay is through the member website. You can do it from your phone, your tablet, or any computer.

Steps

  1. Log in to portal.metropolitanbmny.com.
  2. From the dashboard, click Pay Dues. You will also see a reminder if your dues are coming up or past due.
  3. Review the amount shown on the page. This is your current annual dues — it is pulled directly from the association's Square account, so it is always up to date.
  4. Click Pay with Square. The page will hand you off to Square's secure checkout.
  5. On the Square page, type your card number, expiration date, and security code. Square handles the payment — Metro BMNY never sees or stores your card number.
  6. Click Pay. In a few seconds you will be sent back to the member website with a confirmation.

After you pay

A receipt is emailed to you from Square right away. Your member status on the dashboard updates to active automatically — there is no form to fill out and no waiting on the board to mark it off by hand.

If you need to look up a receipt later, log in and go to your payment history. You can see every dues payment, event ticket, and meeting fee you have paid through the website. Vendors, this is where you go at tax time.

Paying by cash or check

If you would rather pay in person, you can hand cash or a check to a board member at any monthly meeting. Meetings are the 4th Thursday of the month, September through May, at Playwright Irish Pub, 27 W 35th Street.

Make checks payable to Metro BMNY. When the financial secretary logs your payment, your member status on the website will update the next time the board syncs the records — usually within a few days.

When dues are due

Dues are collected once a year. You will get reminder emails from the association as your renewal date approaches — typically one reminder a month or so ahead of time, and a second reminder if it gets closer to the deadline. Paying a little early is always welcome.

If your dues lapse

Metro BMNY gives every member a grace period after the renewal date. Nobody is going to lock you out over a late payment.

If your dues stay unpaid past the grace period, however, the website will ask you to pay before you can use the other features. You will still be able to log in and you will still be able to reach the payment page — you just will not see the events list or the documents section until your dues are current. Once you pay, everything comes right back.

If anything about your dues feels wrong — the amount looks off, you think you already paid, or the reminders are coming to the wrong address — do not guess. Email admin@metropolitanbmny.com or speak to the financial secretary at the next meeting. We will look it up in the records and get it sorted.

Metro BMNY has been serving NYC building managers since 1944. Your dues are what keep that tradition going — thank you for being part of it.
