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

PTAs are constantly collecting money  – bake sales, teacher gifts, donation drives,  membership fees, and etc. Using Crowded to collect these funds is safe, easy and trackable. 

When the PTA needs to spend, they can spend from the same place where they collect. The PTA 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 2.99%.

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 in FDIC pass-through, insurance-eligible accounts*, and FDIC insurance is available on deposits up to $250k through Blue Ridge Bank, N.A..

Absolutely! Crowded provides compliance services including:
  • Filing of Form 990
  • Support for tax and group exemption processes
  • EIN setup and upkeep
  • State-level tax exemption compliance

Crowded accounts are free to set up – we have no minimum balances or subscription fees.*

What do we charge for?

When collecting payments, we charge 2.95% of the collection amount if paid by card and the lesser of 2.95% or $5 for ACH payments.

You can always choose whether you want to cover these fees or ask your payers to handle them.
