Is it time to switch your online giving?

February 22, 2025

When it comes to stewarding your church finances, your leadership strives to be as wise and responsible as possible. Keeping a close eye on your church’s budget, tracking incoming donations as well as outgoing expenses—every chance to save is important! 

You also know how important it is to give your donors an online giving experience that makes it as simple and convenient as possible to give their tithes and gifts.  In fact, 94% of churches with over 100 members are already receiving donations online. 

Yet after all this work to be a good steward of your church finances, it’s troubling to find out that you’re most likely overpaying for your online giving service. The average processing fee for churches hovers around 2.9%, and that’s not including any monthly fees and other hidden fees. Some payment platforms even charge your church a higher processing rate as your online donation volume increases!

That’s why more churches than ever are switching to Subsplash Giving. Here are the four main reasons churches give for making the switch:  

1. No monthly or hidden fees—Unlike other giving platforms, with Subsplash Giving you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that your online giving has no monthly fees or hidden fees.

2. Money savings—Your processing rates automatically go down as your giving grows thanks to GrowCurve™. This can save a church hundreds to thousands of dollars each year! Churches using Subsplash Giving have saved millions of dollars thanks to GrowCurve.

3. Crypto & stock giving—Unlock new donation opportunities for larger donations with our simple but powerful stock and cryptocurrency donation tool.

4. Recurring giving—Donors who schedule their donations ahead of time give more than one-time or occasional donors. By enabling recurring giving, they'll never miss an opportunity to show their generosity.

3. Donor-Covered Fees—Your donors can choose to pay the processing fees for your church, allowing your church to keep 100% of their donations.

4. Integration with a bigger, more powerful platform—Subsplash Giving integrates with The Ultimate Engagement Platform™ that unifies all of your digital engagement tools like your church website, mobile app, live streaming, events, people management, and more!

It’s one thing to tell you why we think churches are switching, but it’s another thing to show you real-life examples of congregations telling their congregations in their own words why they have said goodbye to their old online giving companies! 

Get inspired by checking out these excellent examples of churches that have made the switch:

When switching to Subsplash Giving, one important best practice is to create a “Make the Switch” webpage with a brief explanation of why you’re switching, how this move is going to help your church better fulfill its mission, how to cancel recurring donations with your previous provider, how to easily set up a new Subsplash Giving account, and a deadline for when your church plans to fully switch over. Take it a step further with a personalized video of your pastor sharing these details. 

Now is the best time to switch your online giving, start saving money, and consolidate all of your digital engagement tools! Watch the following video to see exactly how we will guide you to help your congregation move over to Subsplash Giving with ease.
