Why groups love using Crowded

“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.”

Crowded is a financial platform that offers membership groups easy ways to collect, spend and manage money online. 

Some of our standout features include:

  • Accounts that are free to open with no minimum balances & funds that are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 through Blue Ridge Bank, N.A., Member FDIC.
  • One-click online officer handovers.
  • Digital Visa® debit cards with budget limits for group member expenses.
  • Unified banking for multi-chapter organizations.
  • Payment collection links for dues, member fees and donations.

To set up a Crowded account for your group in minutes, create a free account online or book a demo with one of our team members for any questions or additional support.

Our platform truly covers it all.

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.

We charge little to no fees.

When collecting funds through Crowded, you’ll have the flexibility to decide whether to cover processing fees or let your payers handle them. When we do charge fees, they are fair and competitive with industry standards.

We provide extra fund protection.

Unlike payment collection apps, funds you keep on Crowded are in FDIC pass-through, insurance-eligible accounts* with no fee to open and no minimum balances, and FDIC insurance available on deposits up to $250k through Blue Ridge Bank, N.A.

Crowded is a financial platform that offers university departments and clubs easy ways to collect, spend and manage money online. 

Specifically for universities, Crowded’s banking dashboard allows the administration to maintain oversight over their department’s finances.

Instead of student clubs and departments maintaining separate bank accounts that the administration has no access to, with Crowded each department is organized under the main organization. This is better for 2 reasons:

  1. Departments can issue per diems with full visibility from the university.
  2. In the case of a defunct chapter or botched officer handover, the student activities office can step in easily through the Crowded platform.

Organizations can also raise extra funds through Crowded Rewards, where their supporters donate with every purchase.
