Four ways to give

Four Ways to Give

Give online, by text, or through the Church Center mobile app. If you’re able, ACH bank transfer is the lowest-cost option.

Notes

ACH bank transfers

  • Cost: $0.30 per transaction (lowest cost)
  • Available for web, text, and mobile app giving
  • Timing: your bank will likely make the transaction within 3–5 business days (maybe less), but it can take up to 10 business days to reach the church bank account

One-time bank account verification

There are two methods: instant and manual.

  • If the instant method does not work, use the manual method which deposits two small transactions (less than $1 each) into your bank account.
  • A few days later you will enter those amounts into a verification web page. The small deposits are later removed.

Debit cards

  • Cost: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

Not supported

  • Credit cards are not supported (church decision)
  • Apple Pay is not supported (can be pursued if there is enough interest)

Suggestions

  • At the end of your first transaction, take the time to create an account to save your payment method
  • Use ACH bank transfers to lower the cost of giving
  • Set up a regular giving schedule
  • Try out Text giving – it is really easy once you have your account set up
  • Try out Mobile App giving – it is even easier than text giving
  • Search for “Church Center” through the Apple App Store or Google Play
