The National UCC Church recommends Vanco Services, Inc. for processing online giving transactions for our church. Vanco Services charges our church a transaction fee and for credit card donations, a processing fee for every transaction that we generate online.
An online donation directly from your bank account (electronic checking), is the least expensive way to donate to the church. Please consider adding one dollar per transaction to your donation to cover the transaction fee for this type of donation. (For example, if you have chosen to donate monthly, you would generate 12 transactions, and adding $12 to your overall donation would cover these transaction costs.)
For each credit card transaction through Visa, Mastercard, or Discover, a 2.75% processing fee is deducted from your donation to the church. (American Express charges a 3.5% processing fee.) It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider choosing the option that allows you to cover these costs directly through an additional donation. This additional donation will help the church offset the transaction costs of online giving service and keep it available for our convenience.
