- Invoices, Referrals, Fees and Payment methods now use the new shared design
- Older billing terms retired in favour of "licence" and "licence fee" (see below)
- No change to what or how you're charged — wording and layout only
The Billing section of the dashboard — Invoices, Referrals, Fees and Payment methods — now uses the new shared design, and the wording around how CFIN charges you has been cleaned up at the same time. This matters because the previous terms were easy to misread, and clearer wording should make your bill easier to understand at a glance.
What changed
Invoices, Referrals, Fees and Payment methods all moved to the shared card and table design used across the product. Alongside that, we finished a wording clean-up: the old word "subscription" is now called a "licence", and what was called a "performance fee" is now simply the "licence fee". The first charge on a new account is now called the one-time activation fee. It buys no month of service: your first billing month is invoiced afterwards, like every other month, at 20% of that month's profit.
Why it matters
CFIN works on a licence model, and the previous fee wording was easy to misread as something tied to investment returns rather than to the use of the service. Clearer, consistent wording avoids that kind of confusion.
What you need to do
Nothing changes about how or what you're charged — this is wording and layout only. A valid referral code takes €5 off the activation fee of the person who registers with it, and the minimum funded account size remains €2,500. The post-discount charge never falls below the €25 minimum.
In detail
- Invoices, Referrals, Fees and Payment methods all moved to the shared card and table design.
- The previous terminology has been replaced with "licence" and "licence fee" respectively; the first charge is the one-time activation fee, which buys no month of service.
- A valid referral code takes €5 off the new member's activation fee, and the minimum funded account size remains €2,500. The member who shared the code earns fee credits once the person they referred has paid; Billing › Referrals shows what has credited and what has already come off an invoice.
- Two grace periods, both genuinely correct depending on context, still apply: 3 days after a failed card payment, and 1 day at licence renewal.
One more thing
The terminology clean-up described above was applied not just to the dashboard but to our own internal documents too, so our team and our customers are always using the exact same words for the exact same thing.
None of this wording change affects what you owe, when you're charged, or how any fee is calculated — those figures all still come from the same underlying pricing source as before.
