Q: What is Pushpay?
A: Pushpay is an online and mobile giving platform currently used by over 8,000 churches. You can give a one-time donation or schedule recurring donations by using your bank account, debit or credit card.
Q: Is Pushpay secure?
A: Yes, giving digitally is much more secure than cash or checks, and your gifts are directly deposited. Your payment details are tokenized and are stored off your device on industrial-grade encrypted servers. More information: https://pushpay.com/security
Q: Is Pushpay free?
A: Yes and no. The Pushpay platform is completely free for you to use, but as with any online transaction processor, the church incurs processing fees. There is an option during your transaction to contribute to these costs, if you wish. Even better, when you choose “Give from Bank Account” instead of a credit or debit card, there are almost no fees.
