“We only see benefits for our alumnae chapters who create a Crowded account. It gives the chapters freedom to manage their funds in a flexible way. That’s why we continue to say – Crowded is our financial management solution and we want more alumnae chapters to be utilizing it.”
“We were so glad to find a platform that allows us to support our chapters, and give them independence. There are complications managing an association partially comprised of volunteers who aren’t experienced with digital banking, but Crowded’s platform is so user-friendly that it was easily adopted across the organization.”
“Since our guys are young volunteers gaining experience, it’s awesome to partner with a company that has tools to fit their needs. Things like transition assistance between officers or digital cards (the physical frat card always goes missing!) keep our guys focused on their mission and not bogged down administratively”
“It was great to have one place to pay international staff as well as reimburse other staff members when needed. We were able to drastically reduce the amount of petty cash we kept on site because we were able easily transfer money to staff when needed.”
“Crowded has given our fraternity the ability to develop financial strategies from the local to the national level. By partnering with Crowded on both the national and chapter level, we have not only achieved annual savings of approximately $10k but also experienced a reduction in reporting time by over 40 hours annually.”
“As PIKE transitioned from a ‘bank-less’ member billing solution to one that required a bank, Crowded was the missing piece to the puzzle. With seamless officer transitions, digital debit cards, and fantastic customer support, it was a no-brainer!”
“We needed a mainstream way to collect dues, as Venmo stopped supporting group accounts. We also liked the feature of allocating funds to team members’ virtual cards.”
