Frequently Asked Questions

What is automatic giving?
Automatic giving is an electronic funds transfer program that allows you to make contributions without the hassle of writing checks.

What is the advantage of automatic giving?
It makes it easy to fulfill stewardship commitments, even when you are unable to attend church. You never have to bring cash or checks to church. Giving electronically also helps St. Raymond save money and plan the budget!

When will my contribution be deducted from my account?
Once you authorize the transfer, your donation is electronically transferred directly from your checking, saving, debit or credit card account to St. Raymond's account on the date you specify - you never have to worry about forgetting a contribution.

Without a canceled check, how can I prove I made my contribution?
Your bank statement provides an itemized list of electronic transactions as well as your online report accessed through Online Giving.

Is automatic (electronic) giving risky?
Electronic giving is less risky - it cannot be lost, stolen, or destroyed in the mail. All your financial information is kept completely confidential.

What if i change bank accounts?
Simply login and update your account information.

Can I put different amounts in offerings and have all of them withdrawn at different times?
You can set up to contribute to different offerings at different times; however, you will have to do each one separately. You will receive a receipt for each one.

What if I try automatic giving and don't like it?
You can cancel your automatic giving at any time. To cancel, simply cancel your authorization by deleting your credit card and / or bank account information along with your donation dates.
