Donating by Credit or Debit Card
to the Lent/Easter 2024 Appeal

 

Introduction

Here is information about the online payment process you have just accessed.

This is a facility for members and friends to donate to the Lent/Easter 2024 Appeal, via the Greenbank website.

Processing arrangements and charges

To enable us to handle the donation process we have entered into agreements with two organisations:

º Data Developments, based in Wolverhampton, who provide a donations management system called MyGiving.Online;

º Braintree Payment Solutions, based in the USA, for processing debit and credit card payments.

For each transaction, the charges are 20p plus 1.9% of the donation. Thus

During the donation process, you are asked if you wish to pay the cost associated with your donation. If not, it is deducted from the payment made to Scripture Union Scotland and Morningside Hope. 

Your Personal Data

The donation process needs some items of personal information for processing your donation – your name, postal address, email address and whether you want to make the payment under Gift Aid; if you do, you will also be asked about your tax status. Whether you make the payment by debit or credit card, the card details, etc. will also be needed.

Your name and address, along with the relevant reference, gift aid status and the amount donated will go first to the two donation management companies and then will be referred back to Greenbank for administration purposes. The Church does not have access to your card details.

If you do not provide the personal data asked for, Data Developments cannot proceed with your online donation.
