Q – Is my church required to have an aware3 app in order to use aware3-powered giving?
A – Nope! We believe that giving is fundamental to all organizations, so our giving platform is available regardless of whether you’re interested in a mobile app.
Q – How secure is your giving platform?
A – All financial-related data is encrypted and stored by our payment gateway, PaymentSpring. PaymentSpring has earned the highest level of PCI compliance, Level 1. Level 1 PCI compliance is a set of rules stated by credit card companies and audited by an independent third party. Additionally, all transmission to our banking partner and on our site is via an encrypted SSL connection. No financial information is stored on our servers or yours.
Q – How will this increase my giving?
A – Our church partners using digital giving for the first time on average see a 31% increase in their total giving. Church partners who switch from other giving providers increase their total online giving by at least 5%. Recurring giving, accessibility, and ease of use make more engaged givers. People fueled by generosity in their lives feel more fulfilled and have a greater positive connection to their faith and community.
Q – I have an existing giving provider. Do you have any best practices about making the switch?
A – Glad you asked! Check out this one-page guide with our tips and recommendations.
Q – How do I get started?
A – The first step is contacting our expert giving team to get the ball rolling. They’ll get you started with filling out a merchant application and establishing a relationship with our processor, PaymentSpring. You’ll be collecting digital donations before you know it!
