What to know about being added as a beneficiary

Being added as a beneficiary means someone is raising money on your behalf and wants to ensure that you receive funds directly in your bank account. The fundraiser organizer can invite a beneficiary during the bank transfer process. We also keep this process as simple as possible.

Secure transfer of funds:

If someone is raising funds on your behalf, then it is always advisable to be added as the beneficiary so you can transfer them directly to your bank. Gohelpme ensures that you have the funds available to use as quickly as possible. Also, by doing this, you will get full control over the frequency you get money and can monitor what has been sent.

Your name will appear on the fundraiser page:

This page will show your name as the recipient of funds and we are unable to change the wording. We encourage transparency on Gohelpme, but if you want to keep it anonymous for privacy reasons, and wish not to share your full name publicly, so in this scenario, you can always provide a suitable name. Additionally, ensure that you use your full and legal name when setting up bank transfers. (This information will not appear publicly.)

You’ll be responsible for setting up bank transfers to your bank account:

When you accept the beneficiary invitation through your email and create the Gohelpme account, you will be able to add your bank account details.

As the beneficiary, you will need to meet the following requirements:

• Have a bank account in the supported country
• Must be 18 years of age
• Have a valid ID card
• Should be able to set up the transfers through your own Gohelpme account

You can send thank you notes and post updates on the fundraiser:

The beneficiary can send “Thank you” notes to the donors and also post updates on the fundraiser page. You must know that you will not have the option to edit the actual content of the fundraiser like the story, title, and the main image.
