You link your WebCollect account when you pay your first transaction with GoCardless.
From this point on, you can easily pay for events, training, race entry, subscriptions and moorings etc without having to fumble for your debit card.
With your permission, the office can take a payment on your behalf – similar to phoning up and reading out your card details (but more secure!).
