not force PGR societies to switch to Money Hub.

Our PGR society has been told to move to the SUSU Money Hub, without asking us for our opinion.
 
The Money Hub does not suit our society - we heavily rely on a debit card to pay for events. The nature of our society means we cannot raise invoices prior to the event and cannot predict attendance, so if we used the Money Hub, ultimately one of us would have to pay out of our own pocket and make an expense claim. This would be unfair, no student should have to fund events and then wait for the money, especially as some of our events are large-scale and can cost hundreds. 
 
Additionally, we are not even funded by SUSU.
 
Overall, we are disappointed that we were not consulted on the decision, we don't feel the move is very PGR inclusive, and despite raising these concerns, we have not been met with sympathy or any feasible solution - we were told move or lose affiliation...

I'm confused as to how large scale events the cost hunders wouldn't be able to provide an invoice?
