Frequently Asked Questions

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies and organizations that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Transactions that meet PCI standards are said to be PCI compliant.

ACH stands for Automated Clearing House. The ACH Network facilitates the movement of money from one bank account to another via direct deposits and direct withdrawals. For churches and nonprofits, an ACH payment is typically a direct transfer from the donor’s bank account to your bank account.

When a transaction is declined it means that the attempted payment was not successful. There are many reasons for this, including a lack of funds in the donor’s account or the donor’s account being over its assigned credit level. When a card is declined, you can try rerunning the transaction in case a mistake was made, but most often the original response is accurate. Since the decline response comes from the bank that issued the card, the donor should contact their issuing bank for more information.

A chargeback occurs with one of your donors disputes a transaction and the result is a reversal of funds. Chargebacks are a fraud protection device for the donor, but can lead to surprises to the church or nonprofit.
