There is a weird aversion to electronic funds transfer using IBAN in Ireland. Cheaper than PayPal and far less hassle for the treasurer than cash or cheque.Over half the membership fees are now paid by PayPal, the remainder by cash or cheque (which were the only options prior to 2020).
Would Revolut for business not be an option? The main appeal of Revolut is that everyone has it now. Makes payment via QR code really easy.Revolut don't seem to have a plan for any non profit type organisations
Revolut look for business registration details such as cro number etc, which we don't have?There is a weird aversion to electronic funds transfer using IBAN in Ireland. Cheaper than PayPal and far less hassle for the treasurer than cash or cheque.

My local club use Revolut....the person involved doesnt use the card for anything else.Sumup is what you need. You can have an online shop, you can have a card machine, you can get a visa payment card and you can take direct payment and make direct payments. I use it for 2 clubs I'm involved with and its perfect. Only cost is 1.69% of card payments received.
The issue of that is it is his own personal account and all you need is one disgruntled member to cause problems. Sumup have a "club/Society" option that is registered to the club and the treasurer provides personal details along with club constitution and list of elected club officers. If the treasurer changes, the details can be updated with new treasurer details.My local club use Revolut....the person involved doesnt use the card for anything else.
Huge risk of embezzlement or the member getting incapacitated. No comeback for the club as someone can just say “that Revolut account was in my name”.The issue of that is it is his own personal account and all you need is one disgruntled member to cause problems.
I don't know what the fees are, I am the Mini Youth Secretary at our club. I am not involved in the finance. They take a commission from the subs paid. Same with anything else that we run. You have the option of adding their charge on top of the fee. Running a lotto is a feature on the app as well as paying subs and other fundraisers. It's pretty easy to add a new event from the desktop portal.With our GAA Club we have Foireann which has been developed by the GAA and you register and pay your membership. Its really good for reports etc but wouldn't be available to a Rugby club I'm sure. Members aren't that crazy about it for communicating though (for underage group messages) so we're looking at ClubZap for that. Steven - with ClubZap do you know off the top of your head what the fees are. I know there's a monthly fee but not sure of the charges taken for each transaction.
Also with your Sumup machine can you use it to create a link to a fundraising event - say the local lotto? Or selling tickets to a fundraising dinner? Or is just suitable for use when you're at an event in person - like selling tickets at a gate?
It is basic governance and nothing to do with a disgruntled member. You can't mix club money with personal money. There is no visibility and no audit trail.The issue of that is it is his own personal account and all you need is one disgruntled member to cause problems.
