Dues are listed in US dollars (USD). We accept most major credit cards, and if your local currency is not USD you will receive your bank's prevailing exchange rate (which is usually quite competitive).  You can determine your dues using the Dues Calculator.

Each ISCB membership is valid for one full year from the date of receipt of payment. This means your membership will be activated the day payment is received, and will expire 365 days later.  Early renewals will be extended 365 days from the current membership expiration date. ISCB membership dues are tiered (high income, middle-upper income, middle-lower income, and low income) based on country assignments using four global economic indicators (Gross Domestic Product, Gross National Income, Wealth per capita, and Median Wealth per capita). Economic indicators are reviewed biennially.
