A platform with heart

Givealittle is New Zealand's leading crowdfunding platform, enabling individuals, schools, and registered charities to raise funds and connect with supporters. Since inception, the platform has facilitated over $320m NZD in donations, helping thousands of Kiwis make a meaningful difference when it matters most.

The problem

When someone wants to help – whether supporting a family with unexpected medical bills, contributing to a community project, or backing a charity – the payment experience should be seamless. Givealittle knew that easier, safer donations would encourage more generous giving.

Card payments are trusted and familiar for donors but come with a cost and cut down the amount of money that is able to go to causes. Givealittle wanted an alternative that donors would find convenient and trustworthy, but that let more of each donation get to where it matters most.

We are always looking for ways to make giving easier. Our focus is on a payment experience that is simple, trustworthy, and gets funds where they are needed quickly. When we saw what Volley was building, it aligned strongly with the direction we were already heading.

The solution

Volley's Pay by Bank solution solved Givealittle's problem. Using safe and approved open banking integrations with New Zealand's major banks (ANZ, ASB, BNZ, and Westpac), Volley enables secure account-to-account payments without percentage based fees, or requiring customers to share their bank login details.

Donors can simply select "Open Banking" as their payment method, select their bank from a list, and then be taken directly to their bank app to approve the payment. Because payment approvals happen in the bank app donors use every day, payment is secure and familiar and can be completed with just a few taps.

I was able to make my donation in just a few taps with Volley! It was so quick and easy — I'll definitely be using it again.

Working with Volley

For Givealittle, working with a local New Zealand company meant direct access to a team that could jump on calls when needed and make the integration as smooth as possible.

What impressed Givealittle wasn't just the payment experience for donors – it was Volley's partnership approach to integrating.

"Volley were readily available throughout the process and responsive whenever we needed support. The implementation felt genuinely collaborative from start to finish."
