Purpose Payment – A New Way to Pay and Give Back Purpose Payment helps you make every purchase more meaningful. Instead of costly credit cards, we use secure bank-linked QR code payments (ACH) to lower fees for merchants — and turn everyday transactions into opportunities to give back. Each time you pay with Purpose Payment, the merchant’s processing fee is split: one portion supports our platform, and another portion goes to a charity you choose. The donation is always merchant-funded — never from the user — and automatically triggered by the transaction. To make it even more rewarding, you’ll earn points on every payment. Redeem them for exclusive rewards connected to Athens, GA, and the University of Georgia, like UGA merchandise and local experiences. Key Features -Pay merchants instantly with QR codes linked directly to your bank account -Lower-cost payments for merchants compared to credit cards -Automatically support charities, student athletes, and local causes (merchant-funded donations) -Earn reward points and redeem them for Athens & UGA perks -Secure bank connection powered by Plaid, and ACH settlement through Synovus -Purpose Payment: Faster payments. Lower fees. Real impact.
