What is a bulk transfer?

In simple terms is the process by which Direct Debit mandates are moved from one collection company to another collection company.

This transfer process is known as a bulk change.

This transfer is achieved by cancelling the existing mandates with the current provider and then setting up new ones through the new provider on a set date, without any input or action required from the customer.
​
The mandate is purely the method of payment like card, cheque or cash and the transfer makes it possible to move these to a new provider without your customer needing to supply their bank account details again.

Your Payment data
​

Once the bulk change has been completed, payments and subscriptions will need to be set up again as these are not transferred as part of the bulk change process from your previous provider as this is part of the member data you give ClubRight.

What is really important here is the customer/member data you provide us includes information like

The reason it is so important is that we will be creating your future payment collections using this key data as it is not transferred to us as part of the bulk transfer process.
​
​Without this data we will not be able to create your member payments correctly and is easy to get right from the start and we are here to help you.
​
​IMPORTANT NOTE
Once you start the bulk transfer process you MUST NOT continue to create memberships and Direct debits using your previous software provider.
All new memberships have to be created using ClubRight integrated with GoCardless.
