We have has created and assembled a variety of tools and strategies to make use of electronic giving such as the following:
Money from Credit Card/Check Card transactions are deposited into the church’s account within 2-3 business days. Money from ACH (e-check) transactions take a few days to be deposited into the church’s account. The reason for the delay in ACH is for verification that the funds are there, whereas Credit Cards/Check Cards have real-time validation of availability of funds.
Credit Cards/Check Cards do real time validation to ensure availability of funds. ACH does not. If an ACH request is processed and there is NSF, there is a 3.00 charge. This is charged by the ACH merchant account provider, and we do not have any control over this rate.
We offer all the major card brands: VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express; additionally, we also process ACH/eCheck transactions.
Yes, you can create funds that are specific to your organization’s needs. For example, a donor could submit a single $800 donation, but split that $800 over the various funds you choose to offer: General Donation, Building Fund, Youth Ministry, Programs, etc.
Your donors pledge because they intend to give but distractions often derail their best intentions. Studies show that automatic recurring giving generates more money for your ministry by increasing pledge fulfillment and donor retention thereby reducing the revenue roller coaster. This creates a more dependable cash flow and more income. Automatic giving also reduces the need for labor-intensive check processing. So ultimately you have more income and less work with automatic recurring giving.
