Understanding a Pushpay charge on your account
Unreviewed registry note: Pushpay is a dominant digital giving software used primarily by mid-sized and large religious organizations to process tithes, offerings, and specialized fundraising campaigns. When you see this descriptor on your credit card statement or bank feed, it means you have contributed to an institution that contracts with Pushpay for their backend financial technology. The specific name of the church or charity is typically appended to the end of the Pushpay identifier on the statement line.
- Review the full descriptor Unreviewed registry note: Check your detailed bank statement to find the specific church or non-profit name listed immediately after the Pushpay identifier.
- Log into the donor portal Unreviewed registry note: Access your account via the Pushpay app or website to view your giving history and verify the source of the transaction.
Is Pushpay a legitimate company?
A registry match cannot establish that you authorized a transaction or that it is safe. Compare the original account records. If you did not authorize a payment, contact your issuer promptly through its official channel.
Resolving Pushpay billing discrepancies
Unreviewed registry note: In instances where you do not recognize the church name associated with the charge, first consult with other members of your household. It is common for spouses or adult children to use a shared family credit card to contribute to a campus ministry, youth group trip, or different parish. If the charge remains completely unrecognizable after checking with family, contact your bank to report potential unauthorized use.
- Consult with authorized users Unreviewed registry note: Ask family members if they recently used the account to donate to a religious organization or sponsor a youth ministry event.
Why is the charge amount slightly higher than my pledge?
Unreviewed registry note: You likely checked the box to 'cover the processing fees' during checkout, which adds a small percentage to your total donation to ensure the church receives the full pledge.
