When choosing to give with a bank account, keep the following in mind:
- When you give with a bank account, the processing fees are lower than when you give with a credit card.
- You will have to verify that you own the bank account.
- When you donate using a bank account the first time, your account is saved to your donor profile, so that you won’t have to verify account ownership every time you give.
Planning Center does not store your bank account log in information or account number.
You can either verify your bank account instantly by logging in to your bank account (for most major banks) or verify your bank account using micro-deposits.
Bank login
Micro-deposit verification
Once your bank account is verified, you can select it as a payment method to make a donation. However, until your bank account is verified, it will not show as an option to choose when giving.
