Switching from Ashbourne

You're not stuck with Ashbourne.
You just feel like you are.

The contract, the fees, the calls to support just to change a price — it adds up to feeling like the software owns your club, not the other way round.

Clubs switching from Ashbourne tell us the same three things: the DD fees are higher than they expected, the contract won't let them leave, and every small change means another support call. We contact Ashbourne on your behalf, migrate everything for free, and most clubs are live within days.

Questions people ask before
switching from Ashbourne.

I'm still in my Ashbourne contract — can I still switch?
Yes. We'll help you understand your options and can time the switch for whenever your contract allows. Many clubs find the DD savings alone offset what's left of the contract, and some providers will negotiate an early exit once they know you're leaving.
What about members on a lapsed or "sleeper" Direct Debit?
Nothing changes for them until you decide it does. Migration doesn't force a re-signup — dormant or inactive members carry over exactly as they were, so nobody gets accidentally dropped or charged incorrectly in the process.
Do I have to deal with Ashbourne myself to leave?
No. Our migration team contacts Ashbourne directly on your behalf and handles the data request, so you don't need to chase anyone or have an awkward conversation.
Will my members notice the switch?
Barely. Existing Direct Debit mandates transfer across, so members don't sign anything new. The main visible change is the collection name on their bank statement — many clubs use the moment to launch a new branded app or website instead.
How long does the whole process take?
Most clubs are live on ClubRight within days of their data being received. The underlying DD mandate transfer runs in the background through the banking system, but your club is fully operational from day one.
