CFUMC uses PayPal to process credit card and direct withdrawal donations and payments. PayPal handles all of the security necessary for processing the transaction and then transfers the money into the church bank account. The church receives an instant notification about the donation/payment. Our finance manager is able to enter donations into the normal giving record just like donations given on Sunday mornings. How secure is online giving/payments? PayPal is a secure way to make a payment with your credit card or bank account information because this information is only processed on PayPal's secure system. The church does not have access to your credit card or bank account information. You can see more information about PayPal security here. Will the information I provide be kept private? We take your privacy very seriously. When you make a donation/payment, the finance manager of the church receives an email with your name, the amount of your donation/payment, email address, and mailing address. The mailing address is used to send annual giving records for donations. CFUMC never shares your information. You can view PayPal's privacy policy here.
