Do I need an ABN? Fundraising for a charity without one

You need an ABN to use Pebl. Here's how to fundraise for a charity if you don't have your own.

If you don't have your own ABN, there are two ways to use Pebl today.

Why Pebl needs an ABN

Like getting an EFTPOS terminal, we're required to verify the organisation taking payments. That's why every account needs an ABN and an ID check by someone responsible for that organisation.

Option 1: the charity adds you

The charity you're raising money for signs up to Pebl (or already uses it). It adds you as a location for your event, or as a team member. You take payments in Pebl Collect and the money goes straight to the charity.

Option 2: use the charity's ABN

If the charity is happy for you to run the account, get its written approval to use its ABN, then sign up at web.peblpay.com.au. Payouts go to the charity's bank account.

What's next

We're working on a way for community fundraisers without an ABN to use Pebl.
