HowTo: Make a Payment

 This Guide is designed to show clubs and treasurers how to make online payments. Any money owing to OURCs will have a bill issued by the OURCs Treasurer on GrouPay. GrouPay is a payment website that simply collates your money owing to allow you to make less payments in faster and more convenient ways. By viewing your account history this information can be used for receipt purposes and allows both clubs and OURCs to keep a better track of those who have made payments and what for.

Step 1: Bill Issued

When a bill is issued, the generic email address of your club (provided last year) will be emailed to let you know that you owe money.

This might look something like this:


If you press Pay Now, this will take you to the bill. Alternatively you can reach the bill by visiting www.groupay.co.uk and logging in. This should give you the screen here:

By pressing on "View your unpaid bills" you will see this screen, which lists all the bills you currently owe money for (and a search function).

Finally if you press "pay now" you will be taken to the bill screen linked from the email which might look like this:

Step 2: Making the Payment

On the screen above you have two choices.

By Pressing "Pay Now" You will be taken to screen that allows you to make card or direct paypal payments to OURCs.

By Pressing "Already Paid" You can select how you have already paid. The choices here are Cash/Cheque/Bank Transfer. Cash is not advisable. Cheques will need to be written made out to OURCs for the full amount and correctly signed by authorised signatories. On the reverse of the cheque the club paying and the purpose of payment should be clearly written. Cheques should be sent internally to the Treasurer. At present they should be sent to Sahil Sinha, Rowing Sabbatical Officer, Oxford University Sports Department. Bank Transfers may be made direct to the OURCs Current Account. Please email to request the account details.

Step 3: Payment Made

If you have paid online then that's it! If you've paid offline you will have to wait for the payment to be confirmed as received by the Treasurer.

Once this is done you will receive a receipt by email that you can use to claim money from college or whoever you may need.
