Online GivingOnline
Giving meets the highest banking-level security standards set forth by the
Payment Card Industry (PCI) to ensure safe and confidential transactions. In fact, your
banking information is encrypted in the system and is not accessible to any users or
administrators of the Online Giving system. When you manage your own account
information, your church never needs to handle checks or worry about locking up
documents containing your account information and you’ll always be certain that
your gifts are direct-deposited into your church’s account.
- What are the
advantages of Online Giving?
It makes it easy to give, even when you are unable to attend
church. You never have to bring cash or checks to church. Giving electronically also helps the church
plan its budget.
- How are my
contributions automatically deducted from my account?
Once you complete the online registration form, the contribution
amount you specify will automatically be transferred from your bank account to
the church's bank account.
- When will my
contribution be deducted from my account?
Your electronic contribution will be debited on the date you
specify when you set up your recurring giving transaction. You will receive an email two days before the
charge is made and a confirmation email on the day of the charge.
- If I do not write
checks, how do I keep my checkbook balance straight?
Since your contribution is made at a pre-established time, you
simply record it in your check register on the appropriate date. Electronic contributions are recorded for you
on your bank statement as well as your online reports.
- Without a canceled
check, how can I prove I made my contribution?
Your bank statement and the Online Giving system both provide
reports that document your electronic transactions.
- What if I change bank
accounts?
Log in and update your account information in the My Payment Methods
window. Each checking/ savings/debit
card can be changed using the edit button, deleted completely, or new accounts
can be added on the right side of the screen.
- How much does Online
Giving cost?
It costs you absolutely nothing!
- What if I try Online
Giving and don't like it?
You may cancel your authorization by cancelling your gifts and
donation dates at any time.
