Regarding transactions, how soon does the money go into the church’s account?

If giving increases at our church will we receive a better rate?
Yes! The system reviews processing volume quarterly. If your giving meets the threshold for a new tier, you will be notified and offered the option to opt into the new rate. Also, if giving decreases, you will NOT move down tiers – keeping you at the lowest rate possible.
What payment types does One Church Giving process?
We accept payments/donations from all the major card brands: VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express; additionally, we also process ACH/eCheck transactions.
How does text giving or text-to-give work?
First someone sends a text message to the church’s number with the phrase GIVE and a dollar amount for example “give 25” (i.e. GIVE 25). The text message must be sent to the number that was provided to your church by One Church Software when you enabled text and voice messaging.
If this giver has already set up text-giving then they will receive a ‘thank you’ message. The donation will be sent to the church’s bank account and the transaction will automatically be recorded in One Church Software and linked to the donor.
If the donor hasn’t yet set up text giving then they will receive a prompt on their mobile device linking them to a donation form. This allows the donor to connect their phone number with their profile and a form of payment. Once that’s completed the text donation will be processed and any text donations made in the future will be automatically processed.
Can a church choose to only accept donations made via ACH or Debit Card?
Yes, this is configurable. Meaning you can choose to only accept donations made via ACH or Debit Card, and not accept donations made by Credit Card.
What is the chargeback fees for credit cards and ACH?
The credit card charge back (i.e. dispute) incurs a $25 fee. The returned item fee for ACH is $15.
Which level of PCI-DSS compliance will we need as a Church? Are there any penalties for non-compliance?
If you are only using the One Church Giving platform to handle credit card data and you will not be handling any payment-card data yourself, then the only requirement is to complete the SAQ-A questionnaire yearly. These questions are mainly yes/no questions and help to validate that your organization is not storing cards or any sensitive data. This questionnaire should only takes a few minutes to complete.
Failure to complete the questionnaire may result in fines.
Once enrolled in our giving platform, you will be given access to a portal which we make available to all customers to help maintain compliance at no additional cost (assuming SAQ-A).
Can we transfer our recurring donation schedules, etc. from our previous payment processor to One Church Giving without any disruptions?
Yes, One Church Software makes it easy to transfer all recurring donation data from your previous payment processor. While you’re busy running your church, we ensure that all data is accurate including recurring dates, donation methods, amounts and more. With the latest and most advance security in place, all data is safe, secure and PCI Level 1 Compliant.
