The everyday life of a sports club is like a puzzle where every piece matters. One of those pieces is payments – membership fees, season fees, equipment purchases and competition trips. When payments are smooth and reliable, everyday life becomes easier for both clubs and athletes.

Adult athletes and parents of young athletes primarily value ease and reliability in payments. Through Suomisport, clubs can offer exactly that: familiar and secure payment methods users trust.

In this partner blog, together with our partner Svea Payments, we share how club members and participants experience making payments in Suomisport.

Payments should be as easy as participating in sport

Today, payments are expected to be as simple as taking part in sport itself. Many people already use mobile payment apps such as MobilePay. Still, online banking remains Finland’s most popular payment method – in Suomisport, nearly 70 percent of more than half a million payments are made via online banking.

Suomisport’s goal is to provide a wide range of easy-to-use payment options for everyone – from the young Gen Z users to experienced adult athletes.

Elina Vihiniemi, parent at volleyball club Salon Viesti, paid her child’s season fee directly through the app:

“I paid via online banking, and the process was very straightforward. The app is clear and easy to follow, and even though several payment options were available, I chose the familiar and secure online bank.”

Heidi Rantakare from Lappeenrannan Agilityurheilijat purchased the club’s equipment easily via browser:

“Choosing and paying for the club clothes was quick and simple. Everything was handled smoothly in one place.”

Your payment information always up to date

In Suomisport, payments are not only simple – they also stay up to date. Tuula Ahokas, adult athlete from Jyväskylän Kenttä-urheilijat, appreciates the clarity:

“I always receive a notification in the Suomisport app when a new season payment appears, and I can pay it right away on my phone. Open payments are clearly shown, and once paid, the status updates immediately.”

Jussi Nurmisto from Salon Viesti also praises the reliability:

“After completing the payment, returning to Suomisport is fast, and the payment status is instantly visible. There’s no uncertainty about whether the payment went through.”

Suomisport makes club operations smoother

When payments flow smoothly and data stays current, clubs can focus on what matters most – organising sport and physical activity. For athletes and parents, Suomisport offers a safe and easy way to manage all payments in one place.

Easy payments are part of modern club operations – and that’s exactly what Suomisport aims to provide for every athlete, participant and family.
