With an electronic fund transfer you can make a gift to St.
Gertrude without the hassle of writing a check. You can enjoy
the convenience and reliability of having your bank forward
your weekly or monthly gift to St. Gertrude.
How does the program work?
The EFT program works with your bank. Transactions occur
without paper and handling. Your donation is reliably sent
to St. Gertrude on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.
How do I enroll in the program?
- Complete the authorization form for payment by EFT and
attach a voided check. (Click
here for a printable authorization agreement)
- Sign the form and indicate the month you would like the
program to commence.
- Return the completed form to the parish office or drop
it in the offertory basket.
Can I enroll in the program for Offertory and Capital Campaign
payments?
You may make your weekly Offertory gift and Campaign pledge
payments through EFT. Please don't forget to use your weekly
envelope (even if you use Direct Deposit)! There is a box
for you to check indicating that you use this service and
have your gift be a part of the sacrifice of the mass.
What happens if I switch banks?
This is a very common occurrence that is handled in one easy
call to St. Gertrude. Simply request a new authorization card
and return that card with the updated information. This will
ensure that your gift continues without interruption.
Is it possible that more money may be taken from my account
than I have authorized?
Electronic Fund Transfer, like any banking transaction, is
regulated by federal agencies. You designate the amount and
frequency of the transactions.
How do I change my gift amount?
Please submit a new authorization form in writing to the
business manager's office.
