Multiple bank accounts

Most organisations run RaffleLink with a single bank account — proceeds come in, they land in the same place every time. But if your organisation has multiple programs or chapters that need to keep their money separate, you can add more than one bank account and nominate which raffle pays into which.

Add another account

From your organisation's Settings → Bank Account, you can:

• Add a new bank account (account name, BSB, account number, plus a label so you can tell them apart later).
• Set one as the primary — that's where any raffle goes unless you say otherwise.
• Remove an account you no longer need.

Nominate a different account for a specific raffle

If you've got more than one account on file, each raffle gains a Payout destination option. From the raffle's Payouts page, pick which account this raffle should pay into.

If you only have one account, this option doesn't appear — there's nothing to choose between.

When this is worth doing

• Different programs. A junior club and a senior club inside the same organisation, with separate bookkeeping.
• Different chapters. A national org with regional chapters that each want their own fundraising money in their own account.
• A capital fundraiser vs. operating. A specific large raffle whose proceeds you want kept apart from the year's ongoing operating raffles.

Heads up

• The bank account is still owned by your organisation. Adding multiple accounts doesn't let you route money to a personal or third-party account — they all belong to the org. (If you have a more unusual payout arrangement, see Special payout situations.)
• Changing the destination on a live raffle takes effect from the next payout — money already sent stays where it landed.
• Removing an account that's still nominated as a raffle's destination will prompt you to reassign that raffle first.
