RefPay Feedback
I see this has come up on other forums, but that was some time ago, and I'm looking for fresh feedback.
My association is looking into using RefPay. Has anyone here used it? If so, what are your thoughts on the service? |

The high school association here has been using it for 2 years now and personally I like it way better than dealing with each school individually. Some schools would pay you on the spot, some required you to sign and would send the check later. It was constantly a problem keeping track of who had paid and who hadnt. Now you can just pull up your refpay account and comapare it to your assignment list and instantly know if you have been paid or not.
As for the 1099, if Im not mistaken we get a single 1099 for all the assignments we have worked. |

And the money is deposited originally to your RefPay account. It doesn't make it to your personal bank account until action is taken. |

I'm not interested in paying their fees for automated transfers. |

I sign-in and manually do the transfer so there is no fee charged to me as the official. There is of course a fee charged to the paying administrator for generating my paysheet. The highest possible fee at this time is about $2 per paysheet. I'll add that I have been on both sides of this with RefPay. So I have seen all the fees charged to the paying administrator. I have contacted RefPay and advised them that charging the officials is not in their best interest. Keep the fees on the people who make the payment, not those who receive them. These people don't have an issue with it as it actually saves them money since they do not have to cut a check and mail it, which involves a postage cost as well as the cost of the paper, ink, and envelope, plus the time of the person who must perform these tasks. |

I chose to offer a different payment service on RefTown. It is a true direct deposit contracted out to a 3rd party. The money goes directly from the organization making the payment to the official's account. The money is never in RefTown's accounts and is immediately available to the Referee (after the Bank's normal electronic transfer delays). RefTown just facilitates the transaction. It is also cheaper for the organization than either RefPay or printing and mailing a check and it is free to the official. |
