How can your congregation benefit from the UM EFT program?

UM EFT offers United Methodist congregations a convenient and low cost alternative to traditional collection methods.  Utilizing e.service® Electronic Funds Transfer, an electronic giving solution from Vanco Services, the UM EFT program allows participants’ contributions to be transferred electronically from their checking or savings accounts and deposited directly into your church’s bank account on a steady, uninterrupted basis.  In addition to promoting consistent giving, UM EFT saves staff time and administrative costs so your church can enjoy greater financial stability, less bookkeeping, and more confidence in meeting your financial goals and pursuing your missions.

 

Combine e.service® Electronic Funds Transfer with e.service® Merchant Services and e.service® by Web, and all your electronic donation needs are just a phone call away.
