Official Payments Partner of Swim England

The easy way for aquatics clubs to get paid

Collect membership fees and one-off payments without any of the stress, time-consuming admin or awkward chasing.

Help your club grow faster

Don't spend hours manually reconciling payments or sifting through spreadsheets. Our bank payment solutions are an easier, faster and more cost-effective way to make sure you get paid on time, every time.

Automate membership fees

Say goodbye to hours of admin and chasing payments by using Direct Debit to automate the collection of your recurring membership fees. Online and flexible, there’s no need for repeat set-ups when you change your fees.

Easily collect one-off extras

Use Instant Bank Pay to create payment links and QR codes for one-offs like new kit, accessories or gala fees. It provides instant notifications when someone’s paid and is less than half the price of getting paid by credit card.

Frequently asked questions

Switching your members’ standing orders to Direct Debit is a pretty simple process. Begin by informing them via email about the shift to GoCardless for payments and requesting that they make the switch. Once encouraged, explain that they’ll receive an email from your club guiding them through the completion of a Direct Debit mandate, granting permission for the club to collect funds from their bank account at the agreed time. We've provided more info and put together an email template to get you started here.

We’ve designed the GoCardless merchant dashboard to simplify your payment management experience and to make it as user-friendly as possible. As soon as you log in, you’ll get an immediate overview of what you’re owed, how much you’ve collected, and what’s currently due. We’ve improved the search and filtering function, making it easier to search for payment amounts, charge dates, and much more, helping you find the data you need faster.

We can help swim clubs manage late payments with automatic payment collection. For recurring payments, your members complete a simple set-up process, and then funds will automatically be transferred to your club on the agreed date, meaning no more chasing up late payments. Plus, it can improve the member experience, as they no longer need to remember when payments are due. Click here to learn more about automatic payments.
