Fraternities are seeing results with Billhighway

05/25/2011

Over the last few months, we’ve started noticing a trend in the Greek world of men’s organizations moving toward using an organized system to manage their finances rather than manual processes that vary across each chapter.

At Billhighway, we’ve seen a steady increase in signups from men’s Greek organizations, both at the chapter level and headquarter level. So what does this tell us?

“Men’s organizations are beginning to notice how much value financial management systems can bring by conversing with their female counterparts,” says Kellee Montgomery, Marketing and Social Media Lead at Billhighway. “Women’s organizations using Billhighway have seen an increase in their overall chapter cash that can now be put back into their organization, exactly what Fraternities are after. Being able to see drastic results from one system makes using Billhighway a no-brainer. “

With features like convenient member payment options (mail, echeck, phone, credit card or Facebook), advanced reporting tools, collection services and 24/7 online support, it’s not surprising that more and more men’s organizations are choosing Billhighway and experiencing immediate results within their organization.

Collect Donations through Billhighway!

02/14/2011

Collecting donations can be a difficult and overwhelming experience for any organization. With Billhighway’s new donations function, your chapter can start focusing more time on your cause and less time on collecting and distributing donations.

The donations functionality allows your organization to remove all the barriers to fund-raising and charitable giving by leveraging Billhighway’s technology – and vast non-profit experience – to provide a trusted and secure environment in which to collect, process, and distribute donations. Available exclusively to Global clients, the donations function provides a straight-forward, easy-to-follow process that allows supporters to effortlessly locate, select, and donate to the organization of their choice.

Through this innovative system, your chapter has the opportunity to take advantage of the many features that make the entire donating process easier to promote, manage, and organize:

Create your own custom link to drive donors and supporters directly to your organization (for example, http://donate.billhighway.com/MyChapter). Send your personalized link to your donors or embed into your group’s personal website to let visitors know how to donate and help spread the word.  By creating your own personalized link you can make donating easy and accessible to anyone from anywhere.

Convenient and Secure ways to donate whether donors choose to contribute using their bank accounts or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express). Billhighway’s secure system protects the financial information of donors and safely transfers banking and credit card donations. Billhighway never sells, trades, or gives out personal information to any third-party or organization.

No Time? No Problem. Donate without clearing your schedule! Attending an organization’s fundraiser or event used to be the only way to donate and support the cause. Now, through Billhighway, donors can give money without being at the event. Supporters can simply click on your custom link and donate to your organization, without the pressure and stress of clearing their schedules. Now everyone has the opportunity to support your cause, whether out-of-state, traveling the world, or running the kids to soccer practice.

Billhighway’s donations feature is an easy way to increase chapter and national fundraising efforts, engage alumnae, and provide a quick and secure way to support and give back to your organization! Through the implementation of the donations feature your chapter will gain supporters from around the world and financially prosper, allowing you to better support your organization and, most importantly, your community. Billhighway’s donations feature not only allows your chapter to make a difference, but allows anyone who supports your cause to make a difference also!

If collecting donations through Billhighway could help your chapter, contact your Headquarters to let them know you are interested. It may be coming soon!

How using credits cards can benefit you

08/13/2010

Using credit cards to pay your bills may have perks you haven’t heard about.

The most proven methodology of payment on web-based systems is by credit card, but did you know that paying with your credit card can actually benefit you? Some advantages are more obvious, but some may surprise you.

1. Better protection

If your cash is lost or stolen, there is little that can be done. However, if your credit card is lost or stolen, as long as you contact the credit card company within 30 days, you cannot be held liable if the card is used without your permission. Also, credit card companies are already taking notice of your spending patterns and will often notify you if they detect any suspicious activity.

2. Building up a credit history

You can sky rocket your credit score with responsible use of your credit cards. Not many people are aware that a good credit score can help you get lower insurance and mortgage rates and may even help you get a job.

3. Earn rewards or cash back

Many credit cards offer the opportunity for members to collect rewards directly related to their dollars spent. These rewards can range from airline points to discounts on clothing stores and restaurants.  Some cards even directly reward users with cash.

4. Helpful in record keeping

Every time you pay with a credit card, you get a bill. This record can allow you to look closely at your spending habits and easily see exactly where your money goes each month. Your credit card bill also acts as an additional receipt which can be useful as evidence in any purchase discrepancies. Doing your taxes soon? Your receipts are already organized through your credit card statement.

5.  Convenience

Credit cards are much easier to carry around that cash, coins and checks. Simple as that. And if you are away from home without cash, you may be able to receive a cash advance or have the option of purchasing traveler’s checks with your credit card.
