I’D LIKE TO START GIVING USING MY BANKING INFORMATION

While there is no obligation to donate using your banking information, it is the best way to reduce our costs. For example, a $300 donation through debit/credit would typically cost us around $7.80 in processing fees. However, by using your banking information, the cost is reduced to 30¢. 

Planning Center Giving utilizes Stripe as its payment processor, which supports large companies like Amazon, Google, Shopify, Zoom, Airbnb, etc. They have obtained the highest financial security rating an organization can obtain. Meanwhile, Planning Center itself has also obtained industry-leading data security ratings.

By partnering with Stripe, Planning Center has made giving through your bank very simple. All you need is your login information for your Planning Center account, your Checking Account number, and your Bank's Routing number.
