For mosques, churches & charities
Every fee is a slice of someone's donation.
A donor gives £50. On a typical donation station, up to £1.05 of a tap — and £1.25 of a QR-code gift — never reaches you. tapbanc offers every donor Pay by Bank alongside card — same tap-to-give experience, a fraction of the fee.
The terminal on its lobby stand. Donors choose an amount and tap — or pay straight from their banking app.
The problem
Card fees don't pause for Ramadan.
Your busiest giving nights are exactly when the fees add up fastest. In Ramadan, at Christmas, during an appeal — a percentage of every single gift goes to the card network before it reaches your account.
Donors keep giving the same way
Nothing changes at the front. Amount buttons, tap to give. Anyone who wants to tap a card still can.
Pay by Bank goes direct
The donation moves from the donor's bank straight to yours. No card network in the middle taking a cut.
Money lands the same second
Appeal on Friday night, money in the account Friday night. The treasurer sees every gift arrive in real time.
Gift Aid & GASDS — built into the terminal
The terminal asks the Gift Aid question. Every single time.
Most Gift Aid goes unclaimed because nobody asks at the moment of giving. tapbanc's screen is fully programmable — so after every gift it asks, captures the declaration HMRC needs in one tap, and files your claim. A £20 donation becomes £25 while the donor is still standing there.
Every eligible £20 gift
= £25 in your account, at no cost to the donor
- Asked on screen, answered in one tap — the declaration is captured at the moment of giving, with the details HMRC requires
- GASDS for anonymous taps — small contactless gifts up to £30 qualify without any details, on up to £8,000 a year
- Claims filed for you — prepared and submitted to HMRC Charities Online; our fee is 2.5% of what we recover, £0 otherwise
- An £8,000 recovery costs £200 — you keep £7,800 you'd never have seen
