RefPay

It seems to work ok, although there is an extra time lag for them to clear the funds ( the banking 3 - 7 business days). We were warned not to sign up for the credit cards, etc, that they offer, but I don't know why.
Personally, I'm not using the direct deposit until I see if anyone has any problem with it or any identity exposure; even though it costs me 3.00 per check.

That right there would be reason enough for me to be against RefPay. I should be able to be paid however I choose without any penalty at all. It is my money, I have earned it. Why should I pay someone else just for being the middle man, the handler so to speak? Let the schools who wish to use it pay for the service....not me!!!

I have had reasonably good experiences with Refpay.

I don't choose to pay that way; not because of the 3-4 day time lag (which I see as similar to printing checks, mailing them, and the recipients depositing), but because I want a payroll system I can manipulate prior to 1099's. My call.

The other issue relates to my payees. The system allows one free transfer per month; I absorbed a group used to pay every two weeks. I do payroll twice a month, and that would initiate a fee that my umpires would have to pay for the 2nd each month.

The flip is I have a few NCAA groups that pay that way. Instead of a direct deposit, I treat it like Paypal, as I know the money is good. I can make one free transfer a month, which works for me. If I want more than that, I pay; but my decision.

Overall, I find it better than waiting for each coordinator to write, and then mail a check. Already at the whim of someone; I know the money is good when it appears. Better than most.
