The Church / Church Bank Account / Merchant Account / Easy Tithe Relationship
1. The Church
In the Easy Tithe model of processing, The Church represents the congregation, its staff, and operations that are currently in place.
2. Church Bank Account
The Church Bank Account represents the primary bank account into which current tithing & donations are deposited into.
3. Merchant Account
The Merchant Account, much like your own personal checking account, will be a new account that your church/organization will apply for. This account will enable the bank processing of credit cards, debit cards, check cards, and online checks (optional). EVERY organization that accepts credit cards has a merchant account. In the same way your personal checking account allows you to deposit checks and cash, your new merchant account will allow you to deposit credit card and ACH funds.
4. Easy Tithe
Easy Tithe enables users to submit online transactions. It provides the Secure Sockets Layer (128 Bit SSL), the web processing application, and the reporting tools to make online tithing not only possible, but as easy as checking your email.
