ACH bank transfers typically cost significantly less to process than credit card transactions. For nonprofits watching every dollar, ACH giving can save thousands in processing fees annually — especially on larger donations. DonorDock processes ACH through Stripe, which offers competitive rates on bank-to-bank transfers.
Donors enter their bank routing and account numbers during checkout on your giving page. The transfer processes securely through Stripe, and the donor receives a confirmation receipt. It is nearly as fast as card payment, with lower fees for your organization.
How long do ACH transfers take?
ACH donations typically take 3-5 business days to clear, compared to 1-2 days for credit cards. The funds are deposited directly into your connected bank account via Stripe.
Can donors set up recurring ACH gifts?
Yes. Donors can choose recurring ACH payments on your giving page, creating a steady funding stream at lower processing costs than credit card recurring gifts.
Is ACH giving secure?
Yes. ACH transactions are processed through Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure with bank-level encryption. Donor bank details are never stored on DonorDock's servers.
