Illustrative only — not a quote. Figures compare Stripe’s published Australian card pricing with an assumed flat NimblePay fee the joint venture would set. They exclude GST unless toggled, assume payments are currently taken by card through ClubSpark, and ignore failed-payment, refund and onboarding handling. NimblePay suits members and regulars; casual one-off bookings are better left on cards, so a real club would run both rails. Savings accrue to clubs (or, until 1 October 2026, to members where clubs currently surcharge).
