GoCardless and EMDUK
Everything your gym needs to take the admin out of collecting memberships, trusted by over 100,000 businesses with a 97.3% first-time success rate* for recurring payments, and 99% success rate* for one-off payments.
We want to invest in your personal development. So, when you sign up and use GoCardless as an EMD UK member, we’ll give you £250 towards your next accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training course. Ts&Cs apply.
Click on the “Get started” button on this page to register for GoCardless as an EMD member (this ensures you’re eligible for the funding).
Complete your profile verification and add your business’s bank details to your GoCardless account. Once your profile’s verified, you can start using GoCardless in your dashboard.
A payment action can be creating a Direct Debit or Instant Bank Pay mandate, or collecting a Direct Debit or Instant Bank Pay payment in your GoCardless account. Six of those qualify you for funding.
EMD UK will notify you once you’ve qualified for your £250 funding. This will be held in your EMD UK account until you allocate it to your chosen course and provider. See Ts&Cs here.
