Ordo joins Charity Finance Group to help charities reduce costs and enable seamless donations

Reimagine Giving:
Empower donors, simplify donations, and build trust for greater impact

Your Charity is facing soaring costs and diminished donation values? Unlock greater impact with lower processing rates, broader reach, and seamless fundraising – all with Ordo.

When it comes to donating, the traditional payment methods aren't as efficient as they could be

The old-school ways of collecting donations? They’re just not cutting it anymore. It’s a slow process, riddled with fees, and let’s face it, donors often struggle to see where their money truly goes.

But it’s not just tough on donors; it’s a headache for charities too. This not only makes it challenging for potential donors to contribute but also puts a strain on your organisation’s ability to make a real impact.

FAQ - Top questions

Ordo and security

Donations are processed as ‘smart requests’ directly from your donor’s bank account. Ordo ensures security and confidentiality of account details by not displaying them to anyone. Ordo provides payment details directly to the donor’s bank, where the donor confirms the donation payment securely. This eliminates the risk of mistyping account details and ensures payments reach the intended recipient.

Open Banking allows technology firms like Ordo to talk directly with the banks, allowing Charities and businesses to request and make payments simply, swiftly and securely.

Yes, charities can display Ordo alongside other payment methods on their platforms. While Ordo focuses on secure and efficient Open Banking payments, charities have the flexibility to offer a variety of payment options to their donors, ensuring convenience and choice in their donation processes.

Yes. At Ordo, we prioritise safety and security, reflecting our commitment to protecting your privacy. Our platform is inherently designed with robust privacy measures, encrypting all data using cutting-edge security protocols. Messages are transmitted through our secure channel, enhancing protection against cyber threats.

We eliminate the use of credit or debit card information, ensuring there’s no risk of card-related data breaches. Smart requests do not include bank account details, safeguarding against interception risks.

Additionally, Ordo maintains strict confidentiality standards, ensuring that bank account, sort code, and security details are never exchanged between sender and recipient.

When processing a smart request, you’re securely directed to your own bank to authorise the payment, ensuring that your sensitive financial information remains private even from us.

Ordo and Charities

When starting a fundraiser, as a charity, you can effortlessly initiate payment requests (called smart requests) securely and swiftly embedded into your website, the Ordo app, or directly via the Ordo website. This process is fully encrypted end-to-end, ensuring security akin to WhatsAppâ„¢, with no visibility even to us. Both sender and receiver, or biller and payer as we call them, are instantly notified when smart requests are sent and money is received. Simply share the request through your website, a scannable QR code, or a secure, tokenised link sent via email or mobile number. We protect your organisation’s account details, ensuring confidentiality. Donors receive immediate notifications of your smart request and can make payments in seconds. Smart requests are end-to-end encrypted, similar to WhatsApp™—we can’t even see the contents. They travel through our secure channel, not the internet, which protects against fraudsters. You never need to share your private financial information (security codes, card details, sort code, or account number) with the other party; everything is securely managed within Ordo and never disclosed by Ordo. We make it quick, easy, and convenient for payers to complete transactions, and cost-effective for charities. Funds are instantly deposited into your account, accurately referenced, eliminating the need for reconciliation—a significant time-saver for your operations! Furthermore, we don’t charge transaction percentages or hide any fees—making our innovation truly beneficial!

Most card and payment providers charge a monthly fee, a device rental fee, and a transaction percentage ranging from 1% to 4%. At Ordo, we believe more of your donations should support your cause. That’s why we only charge a minimal, flat fee—and that’s it!

For charities, we offer 50 free smart requests when you sign up, allowing you to try it out at no cost. After the initial 50 free requests, the price is a discounted fixed fee of just a few pence. Contact us today for pricing details.

Ordo and donors' bank

Ordo allows donors to pay smart requests directly from their bank accounts. Security and account details are never displayed by Ordo to anyone. Ordo provides the payment details to the donor’s bank, and the donor confirms with their bank that they want to make the payment. This eliminates the need to type in other people’s account details, reducing the risk of mistyping and paying the wrong person.

Ordo uses Open Banking, which allows technology firms like Ordo to communicate directly with banks, enabling simple, swift, and secure payment requests. Both Ordo and Open Banking are technically secure, easy to use, and keep donors in control, just as it should be.
