Get The Most From Your Donations

1. How Can VCI Cut Costs for Non Profits?

VCI’s ACH payment processing solutions are an alternative to credit card or paper checks. This means less processing time. It also means less time spent on recurring billing and invoicing. Saving time means saving money that could be spent on more important things.

With more financial transactions occurring online, the need for paper checks is diminishing. Many online entities no longer accept payment by paper check at all. Using ACH can ease the transition and make the Non-Profit Organization more efficient in the future.

Payments can be made through a payment gateway so that checks and credit card readers are no longer needed. Accepting payments in this way reduces costs.

VCI fees are nominal as opposed to traditional processing fees:

• Paper checks cost $3-$5 to process
• Credit card transactions can cost 1.5% to 3% of the total transaction amount
• ACH costs only $1 per transaction

There are many types of Non-Profit Organizations. They range from personal passion projects to international support groups. Regardless of the kind of organization, VCI can help streamline giving.

These are only some of the organizations that VCI helps:

• Museums and cultural centers
• Faith-based institutions
