I made an error in my checking account and when my donation was submitted for processing it was returned for NSF. Will it be resubmitted? Can I still make online donations? Thank You

Once you are notified that the donation was not processed due to NSF, it normally will not be resubmitted.

And yes, you should still be able to make online donations. Make sure everything is in place with sufficient funds, etc., and then try again in a day or two.

The donation will not be resubmitted automatically. You are still able to make Online Donations. You will just need to submit a new donation once you have sufficient funds to cover the donation.

My tithing was also returned for NSF after it took a week for the church to actually ping my bank account for it. It's an error, however, and I have been watching my account like a hawk to make sure I kept the money in there knowing it takes forever for tithing to go through. What recourse do I have to recoup my $29?

If the money was in the account and available, speak with your bank. Ask them why they did not honor the ACH request when funds were available.

Who is charging you $29? It sounds like you're saying that the money never got pulled from your account.

It sounds like the bank charged $29 for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF). In this case, it seems the issue is on the bank side and the issue must be taken up with them.

That's one interpretation. But I'm not sure if the poster is saying that the donation was canceled but the money was removed anyway.

For the first case, a possibility is that some funds had a "hold" on it. Typically due to a deposit check needing to clear, or a ATM deposit needing to be verified. So, while there is a sufficient balance, there may not be enough that isn't on hold to cover a withdrawal. But that would be an issue with the member's bank, not the church's process.

$29 is the most common fee charged for NSF items by banks in the U.S.
