Payment
In exchange for providing you with the M1 Plus Membership, you agree to pay M1 the annual Membership Fee, as well as any applicable transaction, multi-currency and Chargeback fees, and incorporated herein by this reference. We reserve the right to revise our fees at any time, subject to a thirty (30) day notice period to you prior to the new fees taking effect. In the event that you have a good faith dispute as to the amounts due, you agree to pay the undisputed amounts.
If you accept a free trial of M1 Plus Membership, you agree to add a payment method to the Billing section in M1’s Platform prior to the renewal date of your M1 Plus Membership. Failure to add this payment while auto-renewal is still selected will result in deduction of the annual fee from the cash in your M1 account balance(s) (excluding trust, custodial or retirement accounts) or liquidation of your securities (subject to the below).
Starting July 30, 2021, if you accept the M1 Plus Membership, you agree to select a payment method in the Billing section in M1’s Platform prior to any renewal date of your M1 Plus Membership. Failure to select this payment while auto-renewal is still selected will result in payment from your M1 Spend checking account if available. If you do not have an M1 Spend checking account or there is insufficient cash balance in the account, we will deduct the annual fee from the cash in your M1 invest account balance(s) (excluding trust, retirement, and custodial accounts). If there is insufficient cash balance in your M1 Invest account to cover the Membership fee we will liquidate your securities for payment. Your securities will be liquidated based on the most over-weight in your portfolio.
You will also have the option to select a credit card method for payment of your M1 Plus membership fee. You may select to change your payment method within the M1 Platform. If you choose to pay the membership fee using a credit card payment, you must provide up to date credit card information by your Membership Date.

M1 will also not use your M1 Invest account for payment if the value within the account is less than $500. If no other payment is available on the platform, M1 will immediately remove your M1 Plus Benefits.
Please see M1’s help center page, “How to keep a minimum cash balance in your M1 invest account” for instructions on how to increase the cash balance in your M1 invest account to avoid liquidation of the securities in your portfolio.

If the payment is unsuccessful, you will be notified and given thirty (30) calendar days to deposit cash into the account you selected for payment or update your payment method. M1 will attempt a second payment thirty (30) calendar days after the initial attempt. If the second payment attempt fails, you will lose all M1 Plus benefits immediately.
