New fast and secure online payments method
GoCardless ensures that your money stays in your account until a pitch
hits 100 per cent of its funding target. The secure one-off direct
debit is quick and easy to set up and will automatically be cancelled
if a pitch doesn't reach its target. So you'll never miss out on a
pitch and the money stays in your account.
