Electronic pledge payments

by Joanne

We have a number of members using the electronic payment system.

As treasurer, I feel that people should set up their own payments, I am not comfortable with the church office having bank account information and they have more than enough to do.

The pledgers need to renew their information every year. I feel that this is a good practice but some people think that their pledge amount will be changed automatically.

I am wondering how other treasurers/church accountants feel about this. Thank you.
