Why groups love using Crowded

“Last year, the team was run out of a personal checking account – which was a nightmare. When I took over as president, I knew there had to be a better businesses out there. Luckily we found Crowded, who we use for collecting dues & other payments, spending and banking! I’ve recommended Crowded to the other teams, because I see so much value in it.”

Michele, Lyons Township Boys Water Polo Co-President

“After our previous experiences with other platforms, Crowded’s solution seemed too good to be true. The whole process of paying the staff was super easy, and our staff were happier. A definite win-win. Looking forward to next summer!”

“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!”

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.

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.
Manage your nonprofit groups finances with ease using Crowded
