Please help us avoid online fees
We are SO appreciative of every person who chooses to give through recurring donations online (and we hope you continue to do so). Unfortunately, we recently learned a fee is taken from each credit/debit card transaction. In an attempt to be as faithful with your money as possible, we have a request.
If you are able to do so, please set your recurring donations by linking your bank account directly to Planning Center (the platform we use for online giving) instead of connecting a credit or debit card. If the majority of our giving comes through ACH transfers, it would save the church an average of $100 a month in fees.
How to set up an ACH Transfer
Click the drop-down in the top-right corner, then click “profile”
Click “My Giving”
Click “Payment Methods” on the left-hand sidebar
Click the “Add payment method” button on the right
Click the “Add bank account” button and go through the process with your bank information
Once you’ve added your bank account to the payment methods screen, click on “Recurring Donations” from the left-hand sidebar
If you already have a payment set up, click the edit button (looks like a pencil) on the right to change the source of your donation
Once you’ve finished updating your payment information, you should see an ACH logo next to your bank account on the right
