FAQ
Will I have full control over my account?
Yes! Once you create a profile you will have complete control over your account. You will be able to change bank accounts or credit cards, delete transactions, set future dates of a withdrawal, change the amount and frequency of your gift, and update your address and contact information.
Can I give more than once a month?
Yes. Although your options are to give weekly or monthly, you can set up to give more than once a month. For example, if you would like to have withdrawals on the 1st and 15th of each month, all you need to do is set up two reoccurring monthly withdrawals. One you would set-up on the 1st and the second transaction you would be set-up on the 15th. You would select the monthly button for each transaction.
