Charity clients of database company Harlequin will soon be able to make use of the
direct debit and online fundraising services of regular giving specialists Rapidata.

Developers at both companies are working on integrating Harlequin’s CRM, fundraising
and accounting software with the range of services provided by Rapidata. These include
Direct Debits, eDirectDebit, card payments, online and mobile fundraising services
for website donation pages, event registration and participant management, and peer-
to-peer fundraising across social media.
