CUSTOM STATEMENT DESCRIPTORS Make sure donors know their gift went to you by customizing what they see on their statements.

 All financial information is encrypted and stored by our banking partner to PCI DSS Level 1 compliant standards. PCI DSS Level 1 compliance is a set of rules stated by credit card companies and audited by an independent third party. It is the highest possible rating one can get in the electronic payment processing industry. Additionally, Tithe.ly forces HTTPS for all transaction services using TLS.

 If a phone is lost, even if someone is logged into Tithe.ly, no transactions can be made without the user's secret passcode. This is an extra layer of security that ensures that no one but the owner can access their Tithe.ly account for malicious reasons.

Cash & Check – Chances are, a good chunk of your donations still come in via cash and check from passing the plate at church. With Tithe.ly church giving, you can easily record all offline giving along side the other forms of giving so you have a complete view in one system!

ACH bank transfer (aka eCheck) – Bank transfer donations are supported by Tithe.ly church giving. Donors can set it up and manage their connected accounts themselves, or you can help them get it configured on the admin side of giving.

Credit & Debit Card – Donors can give using they VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or AMEX. Donors can set it up and manage their connected accounts themselves, or you can help them get it configured on the admin side of giving.

 Absolutely! As soon as someone gives via Tithe.ly they instantly receive an email with the details of their transaction. All giving history for each member is also tracked and available within the mobile app, giving your members instant access to check their records. Note: Confirmation emails sent by Tithe.ly, should only be used for tax purposes if the email meets the tax requirements of the country your church resides in.

 PayPal is fantastic, but not built to meet the specific needs of the Church. With Tithe.ly you get a mobile app, web giving, and administrative tools. Plus, all the data syncs directly with your church management platform. All things that you don’t get with PayPal. Plus, Tithe.ly provides a much better giver experience!
