Registering for E-Payments

  • Updated

Enrolling in e-payments (ACH transfers) ensures your nonprofit receives faster disbursements, reduces administrative work, and enhances security by eliminating paper checks.

Why Register for E-Payments?

  • Quick Access to Funds: ACH transfers provide quicker access to funds, processed shortly after the standard cooling period ends.
  • Increased Security: Eliminates the risks associated with lost, stolen, or delayed checks.
  • Less Administrative Work: Reduces manual effort involved in processing and depositing paper checks.
  • Automated and Reliable Payments: Once your nonprofit meets the minimum disbursement threshold, payments are automatically queued and processed according to standard timelines.

How to Register for E-Payments

Step 1: Access Payment Settings

  1. Click "Reports" in the left navigation panel.
  2. Click "Update Payment Method" in the Payment Details section on the Reports page to begin enrollment.

ACH disbursement verification is different from ID verification. You must undergo ID verification through Stripe in order to sign up for ACH disbursements. ACH verification, however, consists of entering your nonprofit’s banking information in order to successfully enroll in ACH payments. 

Step 2: Complete E-Payment Verification

  1. You’ll be redirected to Stripe Connect, our secure payment processor, to enter your nonprofit’s banking details.
  2. Follow the instructions to provide the necessary details, which may include:
    • EIN (Employer Identification Number)
    • Bank account details (account & routing number)
    • Business representative information (name, email, date of birth, SSN, etc.)
    • Organization address and contact details
  3. Submit the form and wait for an email confirmation once your verification is approved.

Step 3: Confirmation & Activation

  • Once verification is complete, future disbursements will be sent via ACH instead of paper checks, including reissued payments.
  • Your payment method in the Reports section will be updated to reflect the e-payment (ACH) status.
