Not sure I buy it, but haven't had time to research it.
According to our commissioner, our association negotiated hard with RefPay to make sure there would be no additional cost to the officials to get their money (not including the fee to cut and mail a check). However, upon seeing Cecil's post, it looks like RefPay was going to do that anyway...hmmm....

As I have stated, and as was echoed by Mike, I see no reason at all to pay a middle man to handle the money. I think if my organization went over to this, I would let them know that they could issue me a check and then get their money from RefPay.
