PayaCharity, the trusted provider of contactless donation solutions for the charity sector, is proud to announce the launch of Toucan Cash, a ground-breaking new service that allows fundraisers to deposit cash donations easily, securely, and locally. Simply by using their own mobile phone.
Integrated within the Toucan Collect app, which is available on both the Google Play and Apple App Store, Toucan Cash is the latest innovation designed to simplify how charities deposit cash donations. It enables fundraisers to deposit physical donations at over 60,000 locations across the UK, including Post Office, Payzone and PayPoint branches.
This follows the recent launch of Toucan Collect, a tap-on-phone fundraising app that transforms any smartphone into a contactless donation device. With Toucan Cash, the platform now bridges the gap between digital and physical fundraising, providing charities with a comprehensive toolset to manage both seamlessly.
Bill Thomson, CEO of PAYA Charity and Toucan Giving, commented: “This is a great example of how we’ve responded directly to the needs of our charity customers. While contactless donations continue to grow, cash remains an important and ongoing source of funds. Toucan Cash builds on our technology and card expertise to offer a solution that is fully integrated, simple to use, and designed to reduce the cost and complexity of managing cash donations in a secure and trackable way.”
Toucan Cash addresses the growing operational challenges charities face, including:
- Rising costs associated with banking cash
- Widespread closure of bank branches and reduced access to deposit services
- Insurance and security concerns linked to cash handling
With all deposits fully referenced and recorded through the Toucan Collect app, charities receive settlement updates, digital reconciliation, and full transparency across all cash collection activity. This removes the need for paper logs, spreadsheets or physical bank visits.
Key features of Toucan Cash include:
- Compatibility with major retail networks: PayPoint, Payzone, Post Office
- Barcode-based deposits tracked via the app
- Flexible deposit limits (up to £999 at Post Office/Payzone and £200 at PayPoint)
- Coin, note, and cheque deposits supported
- Secure, low-risk process
