Giving FAQ#19 - Are There Fees Associated With Each Method Of Online Giving?

 

Are there fees associated with each method of online giving?

Yes, there are processing fees associated with online giving.  These processing fees are paid by WordServe Church. 

Every time you make a purchase or donate money online with your credit or debit card you incur a processing fee.

Processing fees are also incurred when transferring money via the Automated Clearing House Network or (ACH). ACH transfers are electronic, bank-to-bank money transfers.  ACH fees are less than those charged when the giver uses a credit or debit card. Being more aware of processing fees could be helpful since they effectively reduce your gift.  

You might consider using Bill Pay to give electronically. Bill Pay is often offered as a service by your financial institution and may not charge any processing fee. Using Bill Pay can be convenient and an easy way to give.
