Requirements to receive funds

The person who is receiving funds must be over 18 years of age and meet all the fundraising requirements. In case, you do not meet the requirements, you can ask someone to create a fundraiser campaign on your behalf and add them as a beneficiary.

Please note that it is important to verify your identity and bank information completely.

How to invite a beneficiary to receive funds?

Gohelpme is a platform where you can raise funds for someone else and set them as the beneficiary of the fundraiser campaign. This permits the beneficiary to transfer the funds directly to their bank accounts. Before sending them the invitation, ensure that your beneficiary meets all the requirements to receive funds.

How to Send a Beneficiary Invitation?

• Select the tab “Transfers” from your dashboard.
• Choose the option “Someone else’s bank account”.
• Make sure to enter the correct email and then select “Get Started” under “Invite a beneficiary”.
• You will now be required to enter their name and email address.
• Confirm the information and then click on the option “Send Invite”.

It is crucial to add a beneficiary at the time of transfer setup. If you have completed the setting up transfers by using your information, you won’t be able to add a beneficiary then. If you encounter any trouble when sending the invitation or the beneficiary is facing issues in accepting it, then try to add a different email address. If you are still facing the issues, you can contact our support team to find out how to handle the situation.

Once your beneficiary accepts the invite, no additional action is required from the Gohelpme organizer to set up transfers.

How a beneficiary account works:

When your beneficiary accepts the invitation, a separate Gohelpme account will be created for them that will also be connected to your fundraiser campaign. They will be able to sign into a separate account and set up the transfers so that they can get the funds into their bank account.

What to know about being added as a beneficiary:

Being added as a beneficiary means someone is raising money on your behalf and they ensure that the funds you receive are sent directly to your bank account. The organizer of a fundraising campaign can invite a beneficiary during the process of bank transfer.

Please keep the following information in mind when deciding whether to accept a beneficiary invitation:

Secure transfer of funds:

If someone is raising funds on your behalf, then it is always advisable to be added as the beneficiary so you can transfer them directly to your bank. Gohelpme ensures that you have the funds available to use as quickly as possible. Also, by doing this, you will get full control over the frequency you get money and can monitor what has been sent.

Your name will appear on the fundraiser page:

This page will show your name as the recipient of funds and we are unable to change the wording. We encourage transparency on Gohelpme, but if you want to keep it anonymous for privacy reasons, and wish not to share your full name publicly, so in this scenario, you can always provide a suitable name. Additionally, ensure that you use your full and legal name when setting up bank transfers. (This information will not appear publicly.)

You’ll be responsible for setting up bank transfers to your bank account:

When you accept the beneficiary invitation through your email and create the Gohelpme account, you will be able to add your bank account details.

As the beneficiary, you will need to meet the following requirements:

• Have a bank account in the supported country.
• Must be 18 years of age.
• Have a valid ID card.
• Should be able to set up the transfers through your own Gohelpme account.
