How do Bank Drafts work?
A Bank Draft is an electronic funds transfer (EFT) that draws the requested amount directly from your bank account and deposits it directly to PCBC's bank account. The EFT is made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network operated by the U.S. Federal Reserve and is a highly reliable and efficient system. Before giving by bank draft, you must review and agree to an Authorization Agreement.

What credit cards to you accept?

What are the advantages of recurring donation requests?
Recurring donation requests allows you to have a stated amount automatically drawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card weekly, biweekly, monthly or quarterly. It provides not only a secure, paper-less and convenient option, but allows you to establish a disciplined giving pattern.

When will my donation be drawn from my account or charged to my credit card?
E-Giving will process your transactions on a daily basis* and submit them for final processing within 24 hours of when it was entered or had the transaction scheduled to execute.

We understand that it is important to know what the status of your transaction is. Your transaction will be immediately registered in the E-Giving system and made available to you from your E-Giving pages.

*Transactions will be submitted on the next available business day during weekends and bank or company holidays.

Without a canceled check or receipt, how do I document my contribution?
The PCBC Financial Office mails quarterly and year-end contribution statements which serve as sufficient documentation for IRS tax purposes.

How do I change the account or credit card my recurring donation is being charged to?
Click on the "Give Online" and login to your account. At the Main Menu, click on View/Edit Member Profile.

How much should I give?
Prayerfully consider what God wants you to give and what the Bible says about giving. Also, use the Egiving Donation Calculator to assist you.
