Why join IFG

IFG has 4 types of membership:

• Shareholder, If your company is active in industry activities (factoring, invoice finance, commercial finance, secured lending, asset based finance…) it can apply for a status as Shareholder of IFG. This status gives full access to all activities of the IF-Group, both in the field of the two-factor platform and in the field of the Trade Association activities.
  
  
• Partner If your company is active in industry activities it will normally apply for a status as Shareholder of IFG. Sometimes however, it is difficult for reasons of foreign exchange control or compliance with rules of the mother bank to purchase shares in a Belgian company. In that case and conditional upon approval by the board of IFG, your company can apply for membership as a Partner.  This status gives exactly the same advantages as those for Shareholders, except that your company doesn’t buy shares of the IF-Group company and therefore doesn’t have voting rights at the annual shareholders’ meeting.
  
  
• Associated Partner If your company is active in industry activities, but is not interested in the two-factor platform, you can apply for membership as an Associated Partner.  This stat us gives full access to all Trade Association activities but doesn’t give access to the use of the 2-Factor platform.
  
  
• Sponsor If your company is NOT active in industry activities but is interested in the industry as a service provider, you can apply for membership as a Sponsor.  This status gives full access to all Trade Association activities.
