Option of one time bank account use

Post by scokhay1 »

As it currently stands, when I add a bank account, the account information is saved indefinitely. I would really like an option that just uses the information once and makes me re-enter the information every time I want to donate. I would like to minimize who has access to my bank account information. I do that now by deleting my account once the donation has been processed but I would prefer a one time use option. Thanks.

Right now, the Church does not have access to your bank account information once they set up Online donations for you. The bank the Church uses to process the donation is the only one that has your actual account information.

There is a setup process the Church goes through with the bank when you first enter your account information. By deleting your account and entering it again, the setup process and testing has to happen again. So what you are doing is causing the Church to process your bank account information and test it each time you donate, rather than only one time to set up the information with the bank.

In any event, this is a user-to-user forum. You would need to make any request such as yours through a Feedback link on the Donations page. There is a link near the bottom of the page.
