i=Change teams with GoCardless to simplify charity payments

i=Change is collaborating with GoCardless to streamline charitable donations for businesses and their customers.

i=Change, a platform facilitating charitable contributions through business checkouts, has opted to use GoCardless's banking payment solutions to optimise donation collections. Through this partnership, businesses can more easily support charitable causes during the transaction process.

The collaboration involves implementing GoCardless's Direct Debit solution to merge donations, transactions, and fees into a consolidated monthly payment. This process negates the need for businesses to handle numerous individual payments, saving time and ensuring that funds reach charities more seamlessly and reliably.

Jeremy Meltzer, Founder and CEO of i=Change, discussed the potential impact of businesses on societal change, stating, "Businesses have the power to create significant change, and consumers want to support brands that share their values. But for that to happen, giving must be a seamless experience."

"With GoCardless' automated transactions, we can focus on growing our platform and supporting transformative projects for women, girls, and climate action. Trust is everything in giving, and GoCardless ensures donations are collected securely and reliably, strengthening confidence in the process and the organisations we support."

Kyle Willersdorf, Account Director Australia and New Zealand at GoCardless, echoed these sentiments, remarking, "Payments are a powerful tool for enabling donations and making a difference. i=Change is doing incredible work, and we're here to support them so they can focus on what truly matters - changing lives. Managing payments manually can be time-consuming and complex, diverting valuable resources away from impact-driven work. GoCardless makes recurring payments effortless, ensuring donations are processed smoothly while charities receive funds without delays."

This partnership reinforces businesses' corporate social responsibility by simplifying donation management. With GoCardless managing the technical payment aspects, i=Change can enhance its reach and ensure funding is directed appropriately to benefitting projects. Businesses using i=Change can contribute confidently, knowing that their donations are handled effectively and securely.
