Teamo launches TeamoPay

— FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A single payments product for membership subs, match fees, kit and camps. Integrated reconciliation, two-click refunds, and Apple Pay and Google Pay out of the box — powered by Adyen.

LONDON · 20 May 2026 · By the Teamo team

For most grassroots clubs, taking payments is the part of running the club that absorbs the most evenings. Members pay through one gateway, kit comes in through another, the bank statement matches neither, and the treasurer ends Sunday with three browser tabs and a spreadsheet open. TeamoPay, available to every Teamo customer today, is built to make that workflow disappear.

The product brings payments inside Teamo. Membership subs, match fees, kit orders, camp registrations and ad-hoc collections all run on the same rails — and the reconciliation, refunds and disputes that follow each transaction live next to the fixtures, members and fees they belong to. There is no second dashboard to log into, no CSV to download at the end of the month, and no second support team to learn the language of.

Until today, Teamo customers used a combination of Stripe (for card payments) and GoCardless (for Direct Debit) alongside the Teamo app itself. Both services do their jobs well, but they live outside of Teamo — which means treasurers and club secretaries have spent years moving between three tools to do what feels, on paper, like a single task.

TeamoPay collapses the three into one. Cards, Direct Debit, Apple Pay and Google Pay all run through a single product. Payments appear in Teamo against the member who made them; payouts appear against the bank account they landed in; refunds and disputes are handled from the same row of the same table that shows the original transaction.

“It’s the system we’d always wanted to build for clubs — payments shouldn’t be a separate piece of software you’ve had to wire up yourself.”John Nurse, Co-founder, Teamo

The day-to-day improvements are deliberately small. A refund is two clicks from the same screen that shows the original payment — no separate dashboard, no copy-paste of transaction IDs. Reconciliation runs automatically: every payment is tied to the product, member and fixture it relates to, so the question “what was this £42 for?” stops appearing in committee meetings.

Disputes — historically the most painful part of running club payments — are surfaced inside Teamo with the same context. A chargeback against a kit order opens with the order itself, the member’s history, and the evidence ready to attach. The treasurer can respond in minutes, not afternoons.

Members and parents pay through a modern checkout that supports Apple Pay, Google Pay and saved cards as standard. No card numbers to type, no nudge to enable a wallet for the first time, no requests for help on Sunday evening from a parent trying to renew a season ticket. The checkout is hosted, PSD2-compliant and runs through 3D Secure 2 — so the cards a parent has saved on their phone today are the cards they pay with tomorrow.

Direct Debit remains the cheapest option for recurring fees and is the recommended default for season memberships and instalment plans. Cards are best suited to one-off purchases — kit, tournament entries, camp deposits. Per-product configuration is available from day one: a club can take Direct Debit for memberships, cards for everything else, or both for match fees. The choice can be changed at any time.

TeamoPay is powered by Adyen, the Dutch financial-technology company that processes more than $1 trillion in payments each year for customers including Uber, Spotify, eBay and McDonald’s. Adyen holds a full European banking licence and is regulated as a bank in the Netherlands. Every TeamoPay transaction is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant and protected by 3D Secure 2 — the same standards the largest retailers in Europe operate under.

For grassroots clubs, this matters in two practical ways. Funds settle to the club’s bank account on Adyen’s own rails — not via a third party — which means quicker payouts and a clearer audit trail. And the infrastructure is built to scale: a club running a single tournament a year and one running a thousand-member academy network sit on the same plumbing.

For Teamo, TeamoPay is the platform the next few years of the product will sit on. The features above — Class Booking, Tap to Pay, Working Capital — only work because payments now live inside the same system as members, fixtures and fees. The same is true for the things further out: integrated payouts to coaches, smart instalment plans, gift-aid automation. They were difficult to build when payments were somewhere else. They are straightforward to build now that they aren’t.

The team intends to keep adding to the platform at the same pace customers have come to expect from Teamo. The roadmap above is the next two releases; the year after that is already in design.

TeamoPay is available now to every Teamo customer in the United Kingdom. Setup takes around five minutes and is initiated from the desktop Teamo app — existing Stripe and GoCardless products continue to operate without interruption. A one-click migration tool moves existing products across when the club is ready.
