GoCardless is delighted to provide ongoing support to the Gloucestershire FA

We’re proud to continue our commitment to developing the next generation of players at the GoCardless Girls Coaching Centre.

We look forward to many more seasons of fostering talent and supporting the grassroots community together. ⚽️

The next generation of energy billing is here! 🚀

GoCardless and Jellyfish Energy have reached a major milestone: completing a recurring ‘Pay by Bank’ transaction in the live testing phase. ⚡

The coming of recurring Pay by Bank marks a major shift in utility payments. Energy providers can now:
✅ Give consumers more visibility and choice over their payments
❌ Eliminate the need for estimates or manual account adjustments, especially useful during seasonal usage spikes

Jellyfish Energy will use recurring Pay by Bank to give business customers greater control over variable energy payments while reducing payment friction and credit risk.

Communicate Telecoms has gone from zero to nearly 400 customers on the back of relentlessly reliable payments - and GoCardless is powering the journey.

✅ 2–3 FTEs saved in admin costs
✅ Cash in the bank 2 days faster with Same Day Settlement+

With Direct Debit through GoCardless for Xero, Communicate has streamlined monthly billing down to just 1–2 hours, freed up thousands to invest in sales, and kept cashflow moving at speed.

As MD John Cooper puts it:
""When I do the billing on Friday the cash hits the bank on Monday - we can move a lot faster as a business.""

Proud to partner with the Oxfordshire FA! 🤝

This partnership is a direct commitment to the hardworking volunteers who are the foundation of the game. We're dedicated to making life simpler for grassroots football clubs across Oxfordshire: our platform allows for seamless collection of recurring subscriptions and instant one-off payments, directly reducing admin time and ensuring greater financial control by eliminating unpaid fees and offering significantly lower fees than cards. Clubs can even quickly settle fines to get suspended players back on the pitch faster.

Beyond payments, we're proud to be driving positive change by supporting The FA’s Respect campaign and celebrating local heroes as the sponsor of the League of the Year award. We understand that smarter payments free up valuable time for volunteers to focus on the game they love.

Keep your eyes peeled for what's to come! ⚽
