F.A.Q.

What are the advantages of electronic payments and giving?

Control: Users have the convenience to control their payment or contribution date and amount.

Confidentiality: Bank account numbers are not given to anyone at SJL.

Immediacy: Electronic funds can be processed immediately and eliminates check writing.

Efficiency: St. John processes online transactions faster than handling check and cash payments.

How does the process work?

Funds are transferred automatically through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network from your checking account to our bank account.

When will the funds be debited from my account?

A debit to your account may be a one-time payment or will occur each month on the date you specify on your authorization form.

How much does this service cost?

The small fee per ACH transaction is paid by us. Credit card transaction fees are paid by you and is usually around 3%.

What if I try electronic giving and don't like it?

You can cancel your authorization at any time by notifying the school office.
