Froggybank.co.uk is a community of online shoppers in the UK, where our members get paid for the things they buy anyway. Our members can choose to donate their cashback earnings to any charity or cause they choose.

Charities and fundraisers can sign-up to raise money for their cause.

Online Shoppers spend billions a year using various websites. Most websites keep the referral commission they earn from the retailer, but pay 100% of middleman's fee back to our members.

We partner with more than 1500 online retailers, supermarkets, fashion stores and service providers including Currys, Comet, Dixons, M&S, PCWorld, Boots, WHSmith, BT, Tesco and John Lewis.

With internet shopping worth more than £24 billion a year and estimated to reach 25% of all retail sales by 2009, the earning and fundraising potential is enormous. We aim to raise millions to good causes - just by our members shopping.

More information on our company can be found at our about us page.

The money comes from the retailers' advertising budget. Online retailers spend billions of pounds a year on advertising. They pay referral fees to websites who refer customers to them. We pay this money to our members, which they can choose to donate to you.

Unlike some charity shopping sites, our site has the incentive for members to keep coming back to shop from more than 1500 retailers and donate to your charity. Our members can also keep some of the cash and donate flexibly.

This means fundraisers have more chance of getting ongoing donations. Our company has a proven track record of serving hundreds of thousands of members and sending them cash back payments promptly for 4 years.

For administrative, hosting and other costs involved with our service, we take the first £5 of members' earnings each year as admin fee. This admin fee is never billed, it is retained from our members earnings. Since we pay 100% of commission we get to our members as cashback, we need this fee to cover our costs.

Since our company has multiple revenue streams and income from other websites like price comparison sites, we are able to heavily subsidise the running of froggybank at such low costs.

Any individual or organisation in the UK can raise funds for a cause of their choice.

You can raise funds for any legitimate cause, provided we find it suitable to list on our site. You can raise funds for yourself, your family or friends, your charity, company, school, club or association.

You can create your fundraising page on our site and promote it. People will not only thank you for introducing them to a new way to earn while they shop, they do not have to spend any money from their pocket to donate to your cause.

When a member signs-up to our site using your page, we pay you £2.50 out of their first year's membership fee of £5. Your cause will also be shown set as default cause to donate in your supporters account, prompting them to give you regular donations.

It is not only free publicity for your cause, but also an easy fundraising opportunity.

You can build your own fundraising page on our site easily using build my page link after logging in to our site. All you need to do is to write briefly about your cause, why you are raising money etc. You also have the option of including uploading a logo or photo to show on your fundraising page.

You do not need any special technical skill to build your fundraising page.

Once you submit your page, we will review it, make any changes if needed and approve it. As soon as your page is approved, you will be listed in our fundraisers directory and people joining our site will be able to support you.

You can promote your fundraising page using word of mouth, emails, newsletters, leaflets, notices, links on your website or any other legal means you choose.

Your charity page address will be a memorable one, usually in the format of www.froggybank.co.uk/yourcause.

We will list your fundraisers page the causes list in our fundraisers directory.

We will deduct the first £5 from your earnings every year (calculated from the date of you joining froggybank) as admin fee. If earn less than £5 in a year, we will not charge you the difference. We will only deduct £5 in any year, regardless of how much you earn.

The person who signs up and operates a fundraisers account can use it do their personal shopping and earn cashback. You are not allowed to do shopping on others behalf. All your collegues, supporters, friends or family need to sign-up to their own individual accounts to do their shopping.

We will send you payments monthly to your bank account, free of charge. There is a minimum payment threshold of £25. If you do not have enough, the balance will be carried over to the next month.
