30-SECOND COMPLIANCE

How auto-compliance
works

The easiest way to keep clubs compliant is to make compliance the easiest path forward. Here's how we do it.

The Process

Five simple steps

Step 1

Make a Purchase

Club treasurer taps their communities.one digital card at any store, just like any contactless payment.

Works everywhere contactless payments are accepted
Step 2

Card Auto-Locks

Immediately after the transaction, the card locks itself. The treasurer gets a notification.

Not punitive, just a gentle prompt
Step 3

Upload Receipt

Tap the notification and take a photo of the receipt. That's it. No forms, no spreadsheets.

30 seconds, done from your phone
Step 4

AI Processing

The platform automatically extracts details, matches to the transaction, categorises the expense, and flags anything unusual.

No manual categorisation required
Step 5

Card Unlocks

Once the receipt is uploaded, the card unlocks and is ready for the next purchase.

Ready to spend again immediately
