Gifts processed on a checking or savings bank account are assessed a transaction fee of 0.35% and $0.15 per item fee.
How will my parish know what our parishioners are giving?
Parish administrators have access to a robust online reporting system which provides reports detailing gift amounts and allocations. This reporting includes number of enrollees, amounts, types of gifts and dates.
