Pre-loading credit into your YesRef account will make match day even easier. This is the perfect solution for sports providers with multiple users not having access to the same bank account.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li><p><span>Auto-completion \u2013 set up and pre-pay for the game before kick-off (YesRef\u2019s system will automatically pay a referee(s) in just 1 hour after a game)! This reduces the admin needed to finalise the payment after each game.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li><p><span>Multiple teams? No problem. To use YesRef for different teams in your club, head over to \u2018Manage my club\u2019 within your profile and add another team. Their system will auto-populate most of the game day information when you set up your next game.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2><strong>What YesRef Users Say<\/strong><\/h2><p><em><span>\u201cAs Chairman of Melksham Town FC I would like to congratulate YesRef and the easy way that we are able to pay the Match Officials. It is nice NOT having to use cash (especially playing behind closed doors) and the presentation from YesRef was first class. As a club, we would certainly recommend them to any league and we will certainly, be using them going forward.\u201d<br \/><\/span><\/em><\/p><p><strong><span>Dave Perrin, Melksham Town FC<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><em><span>\u201cI\u2019ve used YesRef to book the referees for all of Westbury utd friendly fixtures, it has saved me loads of time and is easy to use (including cashless payments).
