ACH (Automated Clearing House) is a secure and cost-effective method for donors in the United States to contribute in USD directly from their bank accounts. This option supports major banks such as Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, and others.
How to Donate Using ACH
Once you click the donate button and fill in the currency, amount, personal details, and other relevant information, you can choose the ACH option from the payment method dropdown in the third step of the donation process.
Selecting this option will display a list of financial institutions that support ACH transfers. If your bank does not appear immediately, you can use the search function by typing the bank's name and pressing Enter.
After selecting the bank, a window will pop up to confirm and proceed to the connection settings. Click the Agree and continue button.
In the following window, input your bank login details and press Submit.
Follow the next instructions to complete your donation.
Benefits of Using ACH
Lower Transaction Fees: ACH transactions often have reduced fees compared to credit card donations, ensuring more of your contribution supports the cause.
Enhanced Security: Direct bank transfers minimize the risk of fraud and provide a secure donation experience.
Convenience for Recurring Donations: ACH is particularly suited for setting up automatic, recurring donations, simplifying ongoing support.
Please Note
ACH donations are available exclusively to donors with U.S. bank accounts donating in USD. Processing times may vary depending on your bank, typically ranging from 1 to 3 business days.
