New Zealand Golf has launched a new membership growth and retention system with Debitsuccess to help encourage more New Zealanders to join and retain their golf club memberships.

The initiative will see a new program 'FlexiSub' made available to all New Zealand Golf clubs, providing the most convenient and affordable payment options for membership that will ensure no additional costs are incurred by golf clubs.

New Zealand Golf Chief Executive, Dean Murphy is delighted to secure the new partnership stating "this new partnership with Debitsuccess will see the FlexiSub product made available to all of our golf clubs. This will allow a hassle free and cost effective way for clubs to promote flexible payment options to their members.

"The New Zealand Golf membership research project found that 65% of casual golfers would be more likely to purchase a membership if there was more flexibility around paying for the membership.

" This new product will allow golf clubs to offer flexible payment options without the added hassle of all the associated administration.

"An additional benefit of the FlexiSub system is that clubs will no longer have to worry about annual renewals as once members are recruited for a minimum term of 12 months their membership can continue indefinitely."

Debitsuccess Managing Director Allan Dickinson adds "Debitsuccess is Australasia's largest third party payment processing company and has many years experience in assisting a diverse range of organisations retain and grow their membership or customer base.

"Since our inception in 1994 our flexible membership payment management systems have been proven to significantly improve retention whilst assisting in attracting new members to sports clubs by reducing costs as a barrier to entry through the offering of payment plan options that are the most affordable and convenient to the members.

"Debitsuccess is excited by the opportunity to assist in growing the game of golf in New Zealand by providing the FlexiSub system at no cost to New Zealand Golf Clubs as part of our partnership with New Zealand Golf."

The partnership with Debitsuccess will also see the organisation make a significant sponsorship contribution to the New Zealand Junior Golf development programmes.
