to ask if anyone can recommend a site such as collectionpot to collect cash for a group gift?

sorry, posting here for traffic and hopefully a quick answer! I've been asked to do a leaving collection for someone, and the request needs to go to lots of different people in different locations, some of whom I don't know.

I'm not keen on giving out my bank details, you can guarantee many won't have Paypal, so I've looked online and there seem to be a few different sites you can use for a small fee for this kind of thing. Most of them seem to be linked to you buying a gift card with the proceeds though, or sending the money to the recipient online, which we may not want to do. Can anyone recommend a solution please for a site you've used where you can withdraw the cash to buy an actual gift without it being a massive pain?

I think the app HyperJar can do this - you set up a free account, give every one the account details and then can withdraw the cash to spend on a gift.

Have you tried Collctiv?

Oh! Collctiv is free too! best of luck :)
