Teampay

 

Just like you, everybody at Teampay plays sport in a local organisation for fun, fitness and competition. For years, we showed up before the game and struggled through the issue of payment. Two players would bring a $50 note, another would ask if he could get me back next week, and another wanted to pay in small coins!

There had to be a better way to pay!

It was at this point Teampay was born.

Over the next few years we developed, tested and refined a simplified method for game day payments that allowed quick and seamless transactions of game fees to the organisation.
