Frequently Asked Questions
 What is electronic contribution? Electronic contribution is an automatic transfer program which allows you to make contributions without writing checks.
What is the advantage of electronic contribution?It saves time! It saves work! It simplifies your life! You also help the church stabilize its budget and save money.
How is my electronic contribution automatically deducted from my account?Once you authorize the transfer, your specified contribution is electronically transferred directly from your checking or savings account to the church’s account.
When will my contribution be deducted from my account?On its due date. You never have to worry about forgetting a payment or mailing it on time.
If I do not write checks, how do I keep my checkbook balance straight?Since your contribution is made at a pre-established time, you simply record it in your check register on the appropriate date.
Without a canceled check, how can I prove I made my contribution?Your bank statement gives you an itemized list of electronic transfers. It is your proof of contribution.
Is electronic contribution risky?Electronic contribution is less risky than check contribution. It cannot be lost, stolen or destroyed in the mail. It has an extremely high rate of accuracy.
What if I change bank accounts?Notify us and we will give you a new authorization form to complete.
How much does electronic contribution cost?
It costs you nothing and saves you time.
What if I try electronic contribution and don’t like it?
You can cancel your authorization by notifying BPC at any time. But, once you’ve enjoyed the convenience, time and money savings of electronic contribution, we doubt you will want to go back to making contributions the way you did before.
How do I sign up for electronic contribution?Authorization forms are available at the BPC Business Office or click below. If you have any questions, please contact Martha Zollos. Please send the completed form along with a voided check or deposit slip to Martha Zollos at the BPC Business Office.
EFT Form
[NOTE: EFT Authorizations usually require the sender to mail a form to the bank along with a deposit slip or cancelled check, so it is therefore not practical to have an 'on-line' EFT form.]
