The Problem

Your current process isn't just slow—it's not compliant

The Old Way

  • Void cheques sent via email—easy to forge, impossible to verify ownership, and not compliant
  • No way to confirm bank account details actually belong to the registered charity—anyone with a CRA number and a fake void cheque could redirect funds
  • Charities change banks, forget to notify you—disbursements bounce
  • You maintain thousands of charity banking records manually
  • Charities update the same info for every DAF they work with
  • Manual payment file creation for every batch

Disbursement Hub

  • Charities verify their bank accounts through our technology partner—the same infrastructure used by 300+ Canadian financial institutions—confirming ownership, not just collecting numbers
  • Account ownership verified at the institutional level before any payment processes—not just "trust the void cheque"
  • All grantors access the same validated data—no duplication
  • Automated prompts keep charity data current
  • We generate the payment file—you just approve and send
  • Banking-grade security approved by 300+ Canadian financial institutions
How It Works

From approved grant to charity deposit in four steps

Step 1

Create Your Batch

Fund holders can request disbursements, or you enter them directly. Charity data populates automatically—no manual lookup required.

Step 2

Connect & Verify

Link your organization's bank account through secure, institutional-grade verification (one-time setup). Balances verified. Account ownership confirmed. Review totals and approve.

Step 3

Hit Submit

Funds move automatically through secure bank integration. Track every disbursement in real-time from queue to complete.

Step 4

Charities Get Paid

EFT processed. Charities notified. Complete audit trail. We never touch the money or take a cut. We just facilitate the authorization and connection.

What's Included

Everything you need to disburse with confidence

Centralized Banking Data

Charities upload once. Every grantor using WellFunded benefits. No more chasing updates.

Secure & Compliant

Banking-grade security approved by 300+ Canadian financial institutions. Bank account ownership is verified through the same infrastructure Canadian banks use—not void cheques, not PDFs, not email.

No Percentage Fees

Your grants go to charities, not transaction costs. We never take a cut of the donation.

Direct Bank Integration

Review and approve your batch. Funds move directly through secure bank integration—no files to generate or upload.

Flexible Integrations

We'll work with you to determine your branding, communication and compliance needs.

Account Ownership Verification

Charities verify their bank accounts through institutional-grade authentication—confirming the account belongs to the registered charity. When they update, every grantor benefits.

Why void cheques aren't good enough

A void cheque proves someone has a chequebook. It doesn't prove the account belongs to a registered Canadian charity. In an era where document forgery takes minutes, every DAF administrator carries the fiduciary risk of sending grants to unverified accounts.

Disbursement Hub eliminates that risk. Charities authenticate through the same institutional banking infrastructure used by Canada's major financial institutions—proving account ownership, not just providing numbers.

Shared Infrastructure

One charity update benefits every grantor

Today, every DAF maintains their own charity banking database. Charities fill out the same forms for dozens of funders. When they change banks, most funders never find out until a payment bounces.

Disbursement Hub flips this model. Charities upload their banking information once to a secure, centralized system. When they update it, every grantor using WellFunded sees the change immediately. And because every account is verified through institutional authentication—not void cheques or PDFs—you can trust that the banking details actually belong to the charity they claim to represent.

We're building the source of truth for Canadian charity banking data.
