Why ZebraPay?

Fast, Flexible, and Error-Free Payments

Paying officials and game workers should not require paper checks, spreadsheets, or disconnected systems. ZebraPay connects payouts directly to assignments and approved work so your team can pay faster with fewer errors.  When the person assigning games and the person paying them are working from different systems, payments slip, amounts get missed, and officials stop trusting that they’ll be paid right.

Why ZebraPay?

Smarter, Faster Financial Reconciliation

Every payment should have a clear source. ZebraPay ties each payout to the game, role, or time entry that created it so teams can close out reporting faster and with less guesswork.  Come audit or board review, every payout answers its own question: which game, which role, which payee. That’s the difference between a five-minute lookup and an afternoon of matching records.
