Hi

PayPal no longer does money pools.

How can I collect money for a colleague without paying fees? Struggling to find another platform

Use your bank account?

Send an envelope around so people can donate anonymously without you knowing how much they could afford to give. That way nobody is under pressure to donate a set amount, or to donate at all if they don't want to.

I just got one using giftround.co.uk

Have you tried Collection Pot?

An envelope will do if you’re in the physical work place but a lot are still working from home @Notaroadrunner

We’re having to do retirements and other celebrations using virtual cards as we’re not going back until April 2022 as our office is being rebuilt for hot-desking and more meeting rooms.

Doesn’t work if people are wfh though.

Thanks really helpful. @Rainbowshine @SheWoreYellow do those platforms charge? It looked to me as if they did, but I hope I am wrong

Revolut.

Collection Pot do a small charge on each contribution, it’s in their terms on the website.
