*As a convenience to our members, MCLS will accept credit card payments for orders up to $1,000. To maintain our overhead costs and to be a good steward of the MCLS Membership Assets, orders above $1,000 cannot use credit cards as a form of payment. For cost effectiveness, our preferred method of payment remains payment by check.

Deposit Account Statements - show all activity to the account since the previous statement was issued, and lists usage of funds on deposit at MCLS.
Invoices may be paid by check (MCLS’s preferred payment method), credit card*, or authorized deduction from an established deposit account.
