Running a college club or organization can be a rewarding experience, as well as a terrific résumé booster! But one of the biggest challenges club leaders face is managing finances, especially within a large group where money is moving in all directions—membership dues, event planning costs, fundraising earnings, reimbursements, and other miscellaneous fees all make things super confusing. Wouldn’t it be so much nicer to have one platform that can make handling all these transactions easy?
Launching at colleges in the U.S. this upcoming year, Clinkle seems to be that platform. Not only will Clinkle streamline how group bills are split (no more IOUs!), it’s capable of paying both businesses and individuals—all on one platform! While some products let you pay your friends or businesses, Clinkle is the only one that allows you to do everything. Most Clinklers (Clinkle employees) just graduated, so they can relate to us college students and they know what we need. The platform is launching at college campuses first, and Clinkle is working closely with select student leaders to launch its services. Clinkle hasn’t just exploded in Silicon Valley—it has also gained momentum all across the U.S., already garnering attention from The New York Times and Fortune.
Sounds awesome, right? Luckily, any student can get ahead of the crowd by entering his or her .edu email at Clinkle.com to sign up for their school’s wait list. On the other hand, if you’re a student leader (a sorority president, team captain, club president, etc.), you may be eligible for Clinkle’s “first-class” treatment. Email studentleaders@clinkle.com for the opportunity to get early access and win awesome prizes for your group! A Clinkle brand ambassador will get in touch and help you sign up your organization to the top of your school’s wait list.
Once your organization is signed up, your group will also get exclusive access to Katie, Clinkle’s 24/7 Concierge. Katie is a resource for student leaders who have questions about Clinkle’s platform, suggestions for the product, and ideas for the launch. She’s the main source of information for the growing community of Clinkle fanatics.
Lauren Hudson, the Campus Correspondent for Her Campus Exeter University, thinks Clinkle will benefit her organization in many ways. “It’s always a struggle to split the bill at Her Campus meetings,” she says. “We haven’t found a good system that allows us to easily manage our group’s finances. We’ve tried a few different platforms, but everyone always ends up owing us something, or even worse, we end up owing our members. We’re still waiting for an easy solution and are excited for Clinkle – this may finally be it!”
If you love the responsibility of running a college organization but hate the burden of finances, email studentleaders@clinkle.com to become recognized as a student leader and get your group involved. Not only will your members love you, you’ll be one of the first to experience this platform while everyone else is still waiting!
