We are thrilled to announce a significant enhancement that makes it easier for you to manage and replenish your Scout’s account. Understanding the need for convenience and efficiency in today’s digital world, we can now accept payments through two popular digital payment services, Venmo and Zelle.
How to use these payment options
- Scan the QR code above OR Open the Venmo app on your mobile device.
- In the app, navigate to the ‘Pay or Request’ option.
- Search for our Troop’s Venmo handle: @troop457zelie
- Enter the amount you wish to add to your Scout’s account.
- In the note section, mention your Scout’s name and purpose (e.g., John Doe – Scout Account Replenishment).
- Confirm and send your payment.
- Access Zelle through your bank’s mobile app or the Zelle app.
- Choose ‘Send Money’ and enter [email protected] as the recipient email address.
- Enter the amount to transfer.
- In the memo, mention your Scout’s name and purpose (e.g., John Doe – Scout Account Replenishment).
- Review and send the payment.
It’s that simple! These transactions are quick and secure, ensuring your Scout’s account is always ready for upcoming activities.
We believe these advancements will streamline our financial processes and provide you with greater flexibility in managing your Scout’s account. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance our processes to serve you better.
Planned Future Capabilities
While we are excited about these new additions, we are also working on future enhancements to make your experience even better:
Troop Store Integration: Soon, you’ll be able to use Venmo and Zelle directly in our Troop Store for purchases, making it convenient to buy supplies and gear.
Automated Email Reminders: We understand the importance of maintaining a sufficient balance in your Scout’s account. That’s why we’re planning to implement automated email reminders. These reminders will be triggered when your Scout’s account balance falls below a certain threshold, complete with links to instantly replenish the account.
