Does it cost me anything?
Other than standard text messaging and data rates, there aren’t any fees!

Should I use my mobile phone or home landline phone for registration?
Mobile phone. Text alerts will not be sent to a landline phone.

Is my personal information sent in a text message?
We never send any personal or financial information via text message. We simply facilitate giving. Your personal and financial information is always encrypted and stored securely.

Additionally, all transmissions to our banking partner and on our site are via an encrypted HTTPS connection.

How will I know when my credit card is charged?

What if I accidentally type the wrong amount?
When you make a gift, you will receive a text confirmation that re-states the amount given. If you made a mistake, you can respond with the word “REFUND” within the first 15 minutes and you will not be charged. After 15 minutes, you can send us an email, and we’ll contact your church for approval to process your refund. Learn more.
