>> 1. A chapter or Affiliate account should be a Paypal Business account.

>> 2. The NFB has the bank statements for all Affiliate bank accounts
>> sent to the National Office. For this reason 1800 Johnson St.
>> Baltimore, MD should be setup as an alternate postal address in Pay
>> Pal. This is because the mailing address in Pay Pal needed to match
>> the one on our bank statements. This being said keep the primary
>> mailing address something local in your area.
>>
>> 3. You might consider making the primary email address in the account
>> (the one statements and other communications are sent to) a
>> distribution list that forwards emails to both your State President
>> and State Treasure.
>>
>> 4. Only the President and Treasure should have full access into the
>> Pay Pal account. A Paypal Business account allows you to setup
>> additional logins with limited access. A states webmaster for instance
>> will want one of these so they can get in and setup Pay Pal shopping
>> carts on your website and so on.
>>
>> 5. Since someone has to be the official primary contact on the
>> account, It is recommend that this be your Treasure. If at sometime
>> you get a new Treasure there is a formal Paypal process to change this
>> just like there is on a bank account.
>>
>> These concepts are not ment to hinder the operation of your
>> organization but to ensure that the assets of our organization are
>> always handled properly.
