Automatic deductions

Why choose automatic deduction?
There are a number of benefits to signing up for automatic deduction, including:
  • eliminating your need to write a check
  • providing a way for you to contribute even when you are traveling
  • creating more consistency for your budget
  • minimizing seasonal swings in the church's cash flow

How does the process work?
Old South partners with VANCO Services (an agent of the national UCC) to facilitate electronic withdrawals from your bank account. Please note that VANCO charges a service fee of 25 cents per transactions.  So, for example, if you give $25.00 monthly, you will see a withdrawal of $25.25 by VANCO.  This 25 cent fee adds up to a $3.00 annually for monthly donors and $13.00 annually for weekly pledgers. Additionally, a $3-5 charge is applied for returns due to insufficient funds, an incorrect routing number, or a changes in account type

Can I deduct from my credit or debit card?
The service fees for these types of transfers are much higher and the process is more complex, so Old South has elected to offer only bank account withdrawals. 

How do I sign up?
It's easy!  Just fill out the form below and return it to the office by mail or in person, or drop it in the offering basket.  Be sure to put it in an envelope marked "pledge" to ensure its confidentiality.  Please allow two weeks for the authorization to be processed.
