Updates to Online Contributions
If you give online, we encourage you to use your bank account (ACH) rather than a debit or credit card. While all three options are available through Realm Giving with ACS, ACH contributions have significantly lower processing fees, allowing more of your gift to go directly to FBCm.
When you give online, ACH will now be the default payment option, but you may still choose a debit or credit card.
Last year, FBC paid $586 in processing fees, while contributors covered an additional $385, for a total of $971 in fees.
Thank you for considering ACH when giving online!
