Service Charge
We are committed to delivering the top-quality services and products our members have come to expect and also committed to being transparent when assessing respective charges. Unfortunately, SHM is not immune to the increasing costs of technology, personnel, and other external charges that are beyond our control. To offset some of these increasing costs, some of the memberships below now come with a small service charge. Thank you for your support.
