MyCheck enables donations through mobile restaurant apps

Round It Up America works with over 100 charities.

MyCheck, a mobile payment technology platform, has partnered with restaurant-driven charitabe program Round It Up America to enable diners to donate to RIUA charities via branded restaurant mobile payment apps, according to a company press release.

To use the system, diners select the "Round It Up" when viewing their live bill, which then automatically increases their total payment to the nearest dollar. The amount to be donated to the restaurant's chosen charity is the monetary difference between the dining bill and "Rounded Up" amounts, according to the announcement.

Because MyCheck is integrated with point-of-sale systems, a restaurant's daily POS report tracks total RIUA donations, which are subsequently submitted to RIUA on a monthly basis, according to a press release. RIUA restaurant partners currently fund over 100 charities, including Operation Homefront, Feeding America, Make A Wish, No Kid Hungry – Share our Strength, Big Brothers Big Sisters, American Red Cross and the ProStart, among others.

"We are thrilled to partner with MyCheck, whose mobile payment platform makes it just one click to donate to a worthy cause," said Michelle McCarthy, COO, Round it Up America. "We look forward to growing our donations through MyCheck and its major restaurant brand partners across the country as it continues to help them create compelling and engaging customer experiences."
