Getting started in the member portal

How do I create an account?

Once you’ve signed up for or attended an onboarding session and paid your annual membership fee, visit the Taos TimeBank Member Portal and click Sign Up. Complete the form, including a local reference, then confirm your email address.

Our team will review your account. Approval may take a day or two. If it’s taking longer than expected or you need help, email Member Support at help.taostimebank@gmail.com.

If you haven’t completed onboarding yet, start here.

How do I log in to the Member Portal?

Go to the Member Portal sign-in page, enter your email address or username and password, then click Sign in.

How do I join Taos TimeBank?

Start by signing up for an onboarding session at Join the TimeBank. That page walks you through the current steps to become a member.

Managing your member portal account

How do I update my profile or settings?

Sign in to the Member Portal and open Settings or Profile from the main menu. Update your information and be sure to save your changes.

How do I change or reset my password?

If you’re signed in, go to Account Settings and choose Update Password.

If you’ve forgotten your password, use Forgotten password on the sign-in page. Enter the email associated with your account and check your inbox and spam folder for the reset link.

How do I see notifications or messages?

Open the notifications icon from the main menu or Dashboard. New notifications may include exchange requests, messages, and updates about your activities.

How do I change my email or cancel my membership?

You can update your email address in Settings.

To close your account or cancel your membership, please email Member Support at help.taostimebank@gmail.com so we can also make sure your annual membership is canceled correctly.

Offers & requests

What are Offers and Requests?

An Offer is something you can do for another member. A Request is help you’re looking for. Members use both to find opportunities to exchange time and skills.

How do I add an Offer or Request?

Sign in and choose Add an activity from the main menu. Select Offer or Request, add a clear title and description, then submit it to the Activities list.

Can I edit or delete my Offer or Request?

Yes. From your Dashboard, open Manage your activities, find the item, then use the Actions menu to edit or delete it.

How do I find someone else’s Offer or Request?

Use the search box on the Activities page and enter a short keyword such as “gardening” or “rides.” You can also use Search options to narrow the results.

Time credits

What is a time credit?

One hour of help equals one time credit. You earn credits by giving time and spend them when another member gives time to you. Everyone’s hour is valued equally.

How do I earn time credits?

You earn credits by helping another member, responding to a Request, or participating in eligible volunteer opportunities such as Anchor Organization activities. Once the exchange is recorded, the credits are added to your account.

Another member can also donate credits directly to you.

How do I spend time credits?

Use your credits when another member helps you. You can post a Request or respond to an existing Offer, then record or confirm the exchange after the service is completed.

You can also donate credits directly to another member.

Can I give credits to another member?

Yes. Open the Member Portal menu, choose Record an Exchange, then select Donate Credits. Choose the member, enter the amount, and confirm the donation.

Managing exchanges

How are exchanges arranged?

When you respond to an Offer or Request, use the Member Portal to connect with the other member and agree on the details. Once you both agree, arrange the exchange in whatever way works best for you.

How do I confirm an exchange and transfer credits?

After the exchange is complete, record or confirm it in the Member Portal and enter the number of hours exchanged. The appropriate credits will then transfer between the members’ accounts.

What if we exchanged help without creating an Offer or Request first?

That’s fine. Use Record an Exchange from your Dashboard, select the other member, enter the hours exchanged, and save.

Troubleshooting

Why can’t I add an Offer or Request?

Make sure your account has been approved and your profile is complete. If you still can’t post an activity, email Member Support at help.taostimebank@gmail.com.

Who do I contact for more help?

For help with your account or the Member Portal, email Member Support at help.taostimebank@gmail.com. You can also visit the Help Center.
