Charities and Nonprofits Boost Donor Engagement with Brite Payments

Charities and nonprofits often grapple with resource constraints and administrative burdens. A leader in instant payments, Brite Payments is tackling these challenges head-on with its payments and data solutions service. Built on open banking and Account Information Services (AIS), Brite’s Data Solutions are helping organisations streamline operations, enhance transparency, and ensure compliance—freeing up more time and resources for their core missions.

Nordic organisations like The Swedish Heart Lung Foundation (Hjärt-Lungfonden), Suicide Zero, and The Swedish Sea Rescue Society (Sjöräddningssällskapet) are already benefiting from Brite’s Solutions – a suite of services designed to easily collect bank account data and information from donors, which is also being leveraged by nonprofit-focused payment operators such as Repejo and fundraising platforms such as Stockholm-based Octany.

“Prior to implementing Data Solutions, donors had to manually enter bank account details, which most people don’t know by heart. This can be the difference between receiving a donation or not at all,” said Elise Hammarström, Co-founder and CEO, Octany. “By using Brite, we solved our challenges by being able to automatically retrieve the donor’s bank account information to set up direct debit. From this, we’ve already seen the success rate for direct debit signups improve by 24 per cent in the first month.”

Open banking enables data sharing via a user’s bank’s standard identification method, which provides Brite with a secure way to provide instant account verification for robust donor validation. Additionally, instant transaction insights allow for precise tracking of donations and funds, flexible integration, and transparent data sharing, all underpinned by user consent and strong authentication.

The Swedish Sea Rescue Society, a prominent charity focused on maritime search and rescue, also highlights the advantages of using Brite. “It’s easier than ever for supporters to donate,” explains Gunnar Lindgren, Customer Relationship Analyst, SSRS. “We’ve significantly reduced administrative burden and friction in the donation process. This confidence allows us to focus more on attracting and retaining frequent supporters.”

Beyond successfully improving handling and accuracy during peak donation times, charities and nonprofits can leverage instant payments and integrated data insights to take their fundraising a step further when using Brite. This powerful combination enables organisations to capitalise on the momentum of a one-time donation and seamlessly offer a recurring option, securing long-term, predictable funding while strengthening supporter relationships.

“Brite is committed to equipping charities, nonprofits, and businesses across all verticals with powerful tools to simplify financial processes and enhance transparency. This allows them to focus more time on their missions and amplify their message, all the while building vital donor trust,” said George Parks Davie, VP – Product, Brite Payments.
