Anyone recommend one of those online whip round collection things for a leaving gift?

One of my colleagues is leaving and I'd like to organise an optional whip round. I never have cash and think many others are the same, so I'd like something online.

Preferably no or low fee, and ideally one where people can contribute anonymously. I used PayPal before but people kept forgetting to do it friends and family, and also it was a bit awkward as I knew who had given what and I'd rather not.

Any suggestions please?

Collectiv app but it takes 3 days to clear money into bank. Tries to get a fee but you can opt out

You can set up a collection on PayPal so it all goes in to one pot rather than your balance and people don't have to remember to do friends/business etc

We use collection pot at work and it seems to be okay. Money can be put in in any currency too.

Thanks all, some great suggestions and I had no idea you could do it on PayPal too!

We use Viing at work. They don’t charge for contributions and completely flexible.

Paypal used to do something called Moneypool but I thought it stopped about three years ago?

Have they set up something similar free again?

Thankbox is easy but it charges
