AGS Launches Debit Card Only Giving

Ardent Giving Solutions launches Debit Card Only Giving™,
June 24, 2010

"In order to support sound financial stewardship of their members, many churches are not comfortable accepting credit cards for tithing. We want all churches to enjoy the benefits of online, kiosk, and wireless giving while supporting this philosophy." - Bryce Collman, CEO/Founder, Ardent Giving Solutions

Debit Card Only Giving™ is designed to:

- Restrict members from using their credit card when tithing
- Reduce expenses associated with electronic tithing

"Many churches who currently offer online tithing have strong verbiage on their websites cautioning their congregation not to use a credit card. This service will restrict them from using credit and provide a gentle reminder to the giver to resubmit their pledge using a debit card. Churches can feel secure that their members can conveniently give to the church using a method that avoids creating member debt." - Bryce Collman

Ardent Giving Solutions supports Sound Financial Stewardship by developing new services designed to meet the needs of the church, lower expenses, and provide secure, recurrent giving options to strengthen ministries.
