Venmo is a FREE and secure service for collecting money and paying others all from your computer or smartphone. It is just like PayPal (actually owned by PayPal), but unlike PayPal you can give money from your bank checking/savings account (or debit card) without any service fees. However, if you choose to give via credit card, Venmo charges a 3% service fee.

How to give digitally through Venmo: 

1. Set up an account by downloading the Venmo app or visiting the link to sign up: www.venmo.com 
2. It will give you the option of signing up with either your email address or your Facebook account. 
3. It will also ask for a mobile telephone number. It is important to give Venmo a number with text messaging capabilities, because they will send you a code via text message to activate your account. 
4. Make sure to add a bank account by visiting the tab on the side of the app/website titled “Settings” then to the “Banks & Cards” section. They will need your login information for your bank; account and routing numbers; or your debit card information to link your account.
5. After adding a bank account, in order to give to our church, you will need to add @FirstBaptistChurch-WalnutCove as a contact/friend.

***Please note, you may designate where within the church you would like your contribution to go or you can simply designate “General Fund” in the note section. Venmo will send you email receipts via email with every transaction, however, you will still receive a statement at the end of the year which will include your contributions for your taxes
