Individual members are eligible for membership as individual members, but depending on their place of work, they may be called ``individual members treated as a group,'' where administrative procedures related to membership, such as distributing copies of the journal, are handled collectively through the company contact person (group administrative person).
If you would like to register as a group, please check the list below and contact the relevant department.

[Group treatment]
A group membership is a group of members who, in principle, have five or more members in the same workplace, and who appoint a liaison secretary from among the members to handle all administrative procedures related to the members.

[Discrimination method]
Please check your member page.

[Regarding joint use of personal information]
The group administrative staff will use the personal information of members or applicants for membership who belong to the group system jointly with the Association as follows:

1. Joining, withdrawing, and transferring procedures
2. Distribution of membership cards
3. Distribution and collection of delegate election ballots
4. Sending direct mail and e-mail newsletters regarding the Spring/Autumn JSAE Congress, symposiums, and other events hosted by the Society and its branches
5. Payment, collection and remittance of membership fees
6. Other liaison duties between JSAE and members

There are three ways to pay the membership fee: direct debit, credit card, or bank transfer.
Please use direct debit or credit card payment, which do not incur any fees.

Procedure method

<For new members>
If you select credit card as the payment method for your membership fee when applying for membership, the online payment screen will be displayed at the end of the application process. Enter the required information, such as your credit card information, and complete the online payment (payment will be made on the same day).
From the following year onwards, please make your own online payment on your member's personal page or wait for the secretariat to automatically complete the payment.
If you wish to change the credit card you use, you will need to make an online payment with your new credit card on your member page after April of the following year (after the next year's membership fee has been incurred).

<Current members>
Only if the billing amount is 1 yen or more (i.e. if there are unpaid membership fees) can you enter your credit card information and make a payment online on your member's personal page.
Once you enter your credit card information and make a web payment, your credit card will be registered, and you will be able to use automatic payments from the following year onwards (if you have not yet set up automatic payments, you can also make web payments yourself every year).
If you wish to change the credit card you use, you will need to make an online payment with your new credit card on your member page after April of the following year (after the next year's membership fee has been incurred).

*We have received cases where credit card information cannot be registered in environments with strong security, such as at a company. In such cases, please register in an environment that is not affected by company security, such as a smartphone or home PC.
