I have been trying to start an account for online donations since Jan. 3rd and have been told each time after entering all of my information that it can't go through at this time and to try again. Is the server overwhelmed? Am I doing something wrong?

When you say an "account" I assume you mean enter your banking information, since you clearly have an ldsaccount to be able to post here.

It's possible it has something to do with the bank you are using. Another post suggested that some banks use a different routing number for EFT than what's printed on the check.

As a quality assurance engineer working on Online Donations, I have been unable to reproduce the problem you are talking about. Could you please send me a private message to explain in further detail the steps you are taking, the type of device you are using, the browser you are using, and what you are seeing?

Is this still happening for you? I believe this may have something to do with very strict firewall settings on the machine or network you are using to make the add bank account request from that is not allowing the web service call to validate the bank information. I would recommend trying from a different machine or network.
