Mary Kelly of FeePay, our 4th entrepreneur

Our 4th shortlisted entrepreneur and the first featured in the Business category -
Mary Kelly is the Founder and Managing Director of FeePay, which operates out of the Synergy Centre, Tallaght. As membership secretary of Shankill Tennis Club, Mary researched the costs and logistics of setting up a credit card payment system but found it too expensive and too complex a process for the Club. So she decided to set up an affordable and accessible system which would enable clubs and small businesses to accept debit and credit card payments.

FeePay was established in 2008 and offers six different web-based solutions all under the FeePay brand – Enrol, Cart, Console, Invoice, Integration and Mobile. 60 organisations nationwide are using one or more FeePay applications – including Leinster Rugby and Munster Rugby who use the enrolment system for taking bookings for summer camps, schools using the shopping cart to accept payment for schoolbooks, schools using FeePay for enrolment into adult education classes and several businesses using the console application to process telephone orders. Currently employing 4 (1 full-time and 3 part-time), Mary’s business plan predicts staffing levels to reach 35 full time staff by 2014. Mary credits the advice given by mentors at the Synergy Centre, Institute of Technology Tallaght, for helping FeePay to achieve its growth to date. www.feepay.ie
