Simplify your booster club's finances

Crowded is a financial platform that offers booster clubs an easy way to collect, spend and manage money online. 

Booster clubs are constantly collecting money  – bake sales, donation drives,  membership fees, and etc. Using Crowded to collect these funds from others is safe, easy and trackable. 

When the club needs to spend, they can spend from the same place where they collect. The club treasurer can issue digital debit cards as needed to members to spend with budgeted amounts. 

Also, use Crowded Rewards to generate extra income for your booster club!

Cheddar Up provides a great way to collect payments online, but that’s where it ends. Once you collect funds through Cheddar Up, you have to withdraw it to a bank account to use the funds. 

Crowded offers online payment collection, like Cheddar Up, but also provides modern banking services within the app. You can spend the collected funds, track payments, and use Crowded Rewards to raise extra funds for your group!

Crowded is also cheaper. Cheddar Up charges a 3.59% + $0.59 credit card fee while Crowded charges only 2.95%.

With collecting with Crowded, you can avoid constantly transferring funds between payment apps and banks to access your group’s money. Utilizing embedded finances, Crowded enables your group to bank, collect, and spend with just one platform.

Also, we provide fund protection. Unlike Venmo, funds you keep on Crowded are protected with FDIC insurance for up to $250K.
