It depend on what country you are in. The last news we had was that for the US (and presumably Canada) it was still a manual process at the CHQ end.milojury wrote:Should I stop using my bill pay and ACH to make my tithing payment? I think everything is done electronically, so I think there is no more manpower costs for CH. How would I be able to tell if this is the case?
Any advice?

Re: How to pay tithing online?
We set it up through CHQ using the form they provided. Doesn't seem to be an issue. Am I wrong about it? If CHQ headquarters didn't want it done then why have an official form to do it?

Re: How to pay tithing online?
While it's automatic for you, the problem is it's not automatic for CHQ. That process was intended for exceptional situations such as service members serving a a war zone.
We used to have instructions for how to do it, but we've been asked to remove them.

CHQ has an official form for exceptional situations (as russellhlt are trying to make clear since the beginning). Official and Exceptional doesn't exclude each other.awbcolorado wrote:If CHQ headquarters didn't want it done then why have an official form to do it?

Interesting because when I just set up my account with Wells Fargo they showed me how to pay tithing right away.

What country are you in? It is not automatic in the U.S. and you must fill out a form and send it into the administration office to set it up.jondcm wrote:Interesting because when I just set up my account with Wells Fargo they showed me how to pay tithing right away.

I've been doing this for a couple of years from Provo, UT. My credit union (America First) verified that they do an electronic transfer to the Church.

Re: How to pay tithing online?
I have reports from online communities I participate with that there doesn't seem to be any kind of push back from SLC, people are calling the church and the department is sending them the form to fill out. I now have had 7 - 10 people from all over the country tell me they've setup accounts in the last year because they want to do bill-pay.....
Can we get an updated message from that department... I feel like a dork when I say something and the member can call the church and get around it.

Re: How to pay tithing online?
OK, so I was so confused by this, enough to call into donations a few minutes ago. It seems the church isn't as reluctant as we've been communicating... it appears their reluctance is more the onslaught of announcing it as generally available, but the woman I spoke to said they in NO way are discouraging it, and in fact, if you use Wells Fargo it's nearly automatic.

Feel free to contact the finance department about this.JohnShaw wrote:Can we get an updated message from that department...
We have been told they do not refuse any requests sent in using the signup form. They make the assumption that if a request was made then there is a valid reason for the request. They do not want us making the process public in the forum or the wiki for the reasons stated previously.
