Giving at Northwest UMC
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
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
