Electronic Giving Now Available

The Upstate New York Synod invites you to consider our new electronic giving
program as a way to automate your giving.

Electronic giving offers convenience for individuals and congregations and
provides an opportunity for regular and consistent giving. We anticipate that
electronic giving will appeal to many of our synod's members - from longtime
members who will appreciate an alternative to check writing to younger members
and others who prefer to pay or donate by electronic means whenever possible.

* Direct Debit Giving is used to automatically transfer funds from your
checking or savings account to the synod's bank account. If you are already
using direct debit to make mortgage and car payments or to pay utility bills,
then you know how it works.
* Credit & Debit Card Giving lets you make offerings automatically on a
pre-determined schedule using a credit or debit card. Today, many families use
debit cards as a convenient alternative to checks or use credit cards in a
responsible manner to manage a wide range of obligations.
* Online Giving lets you go to the synod's website to make one-time donations
or to set up a schedule of automatic donations. By setting up a password
protected profile, you will be able to log in at any time to make donations,
change a recurring donation plan or view your personal giving history.As you
contemplate your future contributions, please consider
electronic giving.
