If you are giving online it is important to know that we use service called Tithe.ly to securely take contributions. Tithe.ly is a online service that processes banking transactions such as credit card or bank account payments. They are used by countless churches, ministries, and are the backbone for the C&MA Mobile Church App. They take care of the technical and security elements to make sure the transactions are handled safely and securely. If at any point during the process you notice the Tithe.ly name or logo, this is normal and you shouldn’t worry.
Online Giving – Financial Details
Please be aware that when you give online, each contribution incurs a small processing fee. For debit/credit cards it is 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. For ACH/Bank transactions it is 1% + $0.30 per transaction. If you would like to cover the cost of the processing fee, simply click the button next to “Cover card processing fees?”
Selecting this option will automatically add the processing cost to your contribution, making sure the church receives the full amount you intended to give. For example, if you wish to give $100, after selecting the “Cover card processing fee” you will notice the total contribution will be $103.30, meaning the church will receive $100 in the end.
Online Giving – Help
We genuinely desire for this service to be easy to use and helpful to our members. So easy, in fact, that you can simply walk through the process with little to no effort. Should you need a little extra help, please reference the information below.
