Your saved payment methods
How your saved cards and bank accounts work in Psalmly — one wallet that works across all your churches, adding a card or linking a bank for lower-cost giving, choosing a default, removing a method, and how your details are kept secure.
When you give through Psalmly, the cards and bank accounts you save make up your wallet — and it follows you everywhere. Save a method once, and you can use it to give to any of your churches, without re-entering it each time.
Adding a method
The first time you give — or anytime from your Giving page — tap Add payment method. You can add:
- A credit or debit card.
- A bank account (ACH), by securely connecting your bank.
Everything is entered on secure, encrypted screens. Once a method is saved, it's ready for your next gift to any church you belong to.
A note on linking your bank
Giving directly from a bank account usually costs your church much less to process than a card, so it's an especially generous way to give. When you link a bank account, you're authorizing gifts you make through Psalmly — including to other churches you belong to, since your wallet is shared. You're only ever charged for gifts you actually confirm.
Your default method
One method is your default — the one selected automatically when you start a gift. You can change which method is the default at any time on your Giving page, and you can always pick a different method for any individual gift before you confirm it.
Removing a method
Remove a card or bank account from your wallet whenever you like. If you remove the method a recurring gift is using, update or recreate that gift with a method you've kept, so it keeps giving without interruption (see Recurring gifts).
Is my information safe?
Yes. Your full card and bank numbers are handled by Stripe, Psalmly's payment provider, under bank-grade security — they're never stored by Psalmly, and we never see them. What you see in your wallet is just a friendly label, like the card brand and its last four digits, so you can tell your methods apart.
