What Arbiter Users Say
Our organization has been using Arbiter software since 2007. The layout and functionality of their software is user-friendly, with Arbiter Pay receiving the most positive feedback for its ease of use from our constituents.
Great product, simple to navigate, reliable and quick customer service with any problem. Follow the leader!
Arbiter Pay has made it easier for our member schools to pay their officials. With one click they can verify the official showed up for the game and transfer money from the school’s account to the official’s account.
So nice to have officials scheduling and payment all in one place. We also pay our event help through Arbiter Pay, and it is so user friendly and convenient.
Before Arbiter Pay one of my secretaries was spending half of her time working on paperwork for officials. Now her time is freed up to work on more important tasks.
Arbiter Pay is a huge money saver, because we don’t have to cut individual checks anymore. With Arbiter, we can pay dozens of 1099 workers district-wide each week electronically, saving on postage and eliminating the hassle of tracking each payment.
Arbiter Pay is a game changer for how much organizational time is saved because we do not have to deal with check requests, voiding, and delivering checks.
Arbiter has made it so much easier to pay officials from just transferring funds directly to Arbiter and they send out the payments instead of the schools making out a check to each and every one of them.
