Credit Card Processing

The average rate for processing credit cards for many giving platforms is 2.9% + 30¢. We simply pass the fees charged by card brands like Visa and Amex, directly to you along with the 30¢ per transaction fee. The industry term for this fee is called interchange, learn more here.

Bank Transfers

For bank transfers, sometimes called ACH, or e-check, many giving platforms charge 1%-2% + 30¢. We simply charge 30¢ per transaction to cover the gateway fees involved. View more information on gateway pricing here.

Encouraging gifts via bank transfer will result in the lowest possible fee structure for your ministry.

The My Well Guarantee

Everybody has guarantees, but they're littered with caveats and gotchas. None of that here. Our promise is simple: no matter what, we never markup or profit on the money for your mission. Learn more about the surprising truth behind online giving guarantees.

Anatomy of a normal gift

Anatomy Of A Normal Gift

Fees aplenty, marking up processing costs, and skimming on ACH gifts. What it boils down to is for profit companies making money in two ways, from tithes and from offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Interchange?

Interchange is a fee charged by the major credit card payment networks: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express to a merchant's bank in exchange for processing a payment. These fees can vary, based on the card type, whether or not it's a rewards card, credit vs debit card, and many other factors. Currently there are over 470 different interchange rates!

It’s worth noting that all giving platforms and payment processors are charged the same interchange rates regardless of size. They add their profits on top of of that interchange. We are the only non-profit ministry that will give it to you at cost plus zero and keep it at cost plus zero. For a deep dive, checkout our article: What are interchange rates and should I care?

How can I calculate my average effective rate?

Your average effective rate is the sum of your interchange fees, additional basis points, gateway transaction fees along with any ACH transactions fees divided by the total volume processed in a given time frame.

To calculate your rate, you’ll need your merchant statement, gateway statement, and ach statement if you have one. We wrote a helpful article to guide you through the entire process.

What happens if the number of gifts processed falls below the limits?

We assess the monthly platform fee based on the number of gifts you process each month. This means you only pay for what you process. If the total gifts given falls below your current tier, then your monthly platform rate will decrease. If you process enough total gifts to get to the next tier, then your rate will increase accordingly. Bottom line: you pay for the tier you fall in for each month.

How do My Well fees compare to other online giving companies?

Most organizations charge 2.9% + 30 for payment processing. Our model uses Interchange Plus Zero pricing. We simply pass the fees charged by card brands like Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express, directly to you, along with the 30¢ per transaction fee.

For bank transfers (ACH), there are no additional or hidden fees—just the 30¢ per transaction fee.

No matter what, we never markup or profit on the money for your mission. Keep reading to learn more about how My Well processing fees compare.

How does Interchange Plus Zero Pricing work?

One of the more popular pricing models is called flat rate pricing, often seen in the format of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. While this is easy to understand, since you're not paying Interchange rates, you always overpay for credit card processing fees.

Interchange Plus Pricing is a passthrough set up where the merchant receives the actual interchange rates (which is passed onto you at cost) plus a set of basis points (which is a percent) and a transaction fee.

Other payment processing companies will add another layer of profit on top of these Interchange fees. At My Well, we never markup the Interchange rate, so you always pay the lowest possible rates based on the card type being used.

Are there setup costs or extra fees?

With My Well Ministry, there are no setup fees, annual account fees, account termination fees, or PCI / Security fees (If you complete certification through our partner TransNational, which we provide to you for no cost).

How much can I save?

Across all of our partners, we’ve seen an average savings of 40%-50% off previous processing rates.

What if we're a small church?

If you’re currently processing more than $4,000 each month, then partnering with My Well Ministry for online giving will be your best option. See how you can get the best online giving rate if you're a small church.
