Divvy – AYSO Financial Management

Divvy is a new and powerful financial management tool for Sections, Areas, and Regions (SAR) to manage your program finances quickly and easily. We all agree getting players on the pitch is our primary focus, and we hope these tools will allow you the flexibility, visibility, and efficiency to keep your programs on track.

Below you will find information on what Divvy is and how they will work for you.

Divvy is pleased to announce that we have recently opted to partner with VISA in lieu of Master Card.

Read on below to learn more about why this transition is taking place, as well as the logistics to make the change. If you currently do not have a Divvy card, you will just start with a VISA card and not have to worry about choosing a card type.

This exciting enhancement to the Divvy platform brings a host of improvements to AYSO such as:

  • Wider acceptance at more merchants, including COSTCO.
  • The fraud dispute process is more “customer friendly” and simplified.
  • New features can be added in the future such as “tap to pay”, “e-mailed receipts” and more.

So, how do you start the transition process?

  1. Simply e-mail visa_activations@divvypay.com to start the process for you. A VISA migration specialist will be assigned to answer any questions. Once the admin confirms that migration is desired, the AYSO office will authorize the transition.
  2. Note that this is a CONCURRENT transition in which part of your Divvy Master Card credit limit will be allocated to the Visa card. This will allow for those with high activity to start using the new VISA while allowing time for the Master Card transactions to clear.

 

A sample timeline to complete the transition is in the screenshot below:

 

You can opt to start the transition at a time that is most convenient to your programs operation. Don’t worry, you do not need to change tomorrow. Our goal is to have everyone transitioned in the next year. We feel confident that the VISA card will offer you a wider array of convenience with tools to make your expense management and running your program easier.
