4. Background and History: Market Opportunity for Charities
• £10.6bn is donated to charity by individuals in the UK (CAF, UK Giving, 2014).
• It’s estimated that £0.5bn - £1bn of that is currently given in cash (CAF, UK
Giving, 2014).
• Cash transactions overall are set to fall from £20.8bn in 2012 to £13.7bn in 2022
(UK Cards Association).
• Donations over card have doubled over the last 5 years to £120m (UK Cards
Association).
• There are 181,461 charities in the UK that currently use around 1m cash collection
tins/buckets (Charity Commission).
• Approximately 5,000 of these charities raise more than £1,000/year in cash (Charity
Commission).
5. Background and History: 100 Days Proof of Concept
• Principle learning to test whether customers would respond
positively to donating via contactless at on-street collectors.
• A secondary objective was to prove the hardware
concept.
• Save the Children were invited to be the charity
partner.
• Throughout the project, a contactless-only approach was
taken in the interests of delivering a pilot within a 100-day
timetable.
12. • The Proof of Concept demonstrated that there is a
growing, but currently limited expectation to pay
with card.
• Other charities would like their own opportunity to
test and learn about card acceptance in the short
term.
• Consumer awareness is key to driving
donations.
