What are the benefits of setting up a Realm Connect online account to setup my own ACH payments?
The benefits are as follows:
I can set up my own bank drafting schedule, weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc..
I can donate to other church programs, or make online payments to church special events.
I can keep track of all my monetary payments to the church,
Your account information will be confidential. The First Presbyterian Church (FPC) does not have access to your account information.
Can I get assistance with setting up my online account?
Yes! Contact the church office and someone will help.
Will I incur a fee for using Realm Connect for online transactions?
No, FPC will absorb all of the credit card transaction fees. However, you will be given the option to cover the transaction fee.
If I make a Pledge to the FPC, does that go into the General Fund?
No, there is a misconception that the Pledges go into General Fund. The General Fund donations are typically from a non-member, or from members who have chosen not to pledge. Both funds are used to determine the church budget.
What if I decide to make a change my Pledge payment schedule?
If you have chosen Realm Connect online, then you can make changes on your own. If you have chosen an automatic bill pay payment through your bank, you will need to go through them to make changes.
