The short answer
The registry records Church Tithe or Offering as a possible interpretation of TITHE.LY GIVING. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Identifying the Tithe.ly charge on your statement
Unreviewed registry note: When a transaction labeled as Tithe.ly appears on your banking statement, it indicates that a church or ministry you attend utilizes this specific software to process their congregational donations. Tithe.ly provides a mobile app, text-to-give functionality, and online forms that modern religious institutions use in place of traditional offering plates. The descriptor will often include the name of the specific church immediately following the Tithe.ly brand name.
- Check the full transaction descriptor Unreviewed registry note: Examine the statement line carefully to see if the name of your specific church or parish is listed alongside the Tithe.ly identifier.
- Review church communications Unreviewed registry note: Check recent church bulletins or email newsletters to verify if the congregation recently announced a transition to the Tithe.ly giving platform.
Why does my church use a third-party app?
Unreviewed registry note: Third-party platforms like Tithe.ly provide secure, compliant payment processing infrastructure that is difficult and expensive for independent churches to build themselves.
Managing church donations via third-party platforms
Unreviewed registry note: It is also important to note that Tithe.ly offers a feature allowing donors to 'cover the fees' associated with credit card processing. If you notice a charge that is slightly higher than your intended donation amount (for example, $51.50 instead of $50.00), you likely opted into this feature during the checkout process to ensure the church received the full pledge amount.
- Review processing fee settings Unreviewed registry note: Log into your Tithe.ly account to verify if you have the 'cover the fees' option toggled on for future recurring donations.
Is giving through Tithe.ly tax-deductible?
Unreviewed registry note: Yes, provided the receiving church is a registered 501(c)(3) religious organization. The platform will automatically generate annual giving statements for tax purposes.
