On-Line Payments
For online payments we have set up Canada Helps, the Paypal Giving Fund, and Interac. The first two accept credit card payments and issue your tax receipt instantly as you donate. See the details on each method below. Here is a quick comparison of the online methods.

Interac Bank Transfer
UCE is set up to accept Interac bank transfers through the church admin email address. Go to your online banking to transfer funds to UCE. We have auto-deposit enabled so it will transfer immediately (no password required). The church receives 100% of the amount you transfer; however, your bank may charge you a fee for the transaction.
When you donate by Interac transfer the church will issue your tax receipt at the end of the tax year.

Paypal Giving Fund
The Paypal Giving Fund has been set up by Paypal to accept charitable donations. They currently have partners who are covering the credit card fees so 100% of the donations are passed through to the charity. If you donate through the Paypal Giving Fund you will receive your tax receipt as soon as you donate.
When you click on the logo above or click here you go to the UCE donation page at Paypal. With Paypal you can donate one-time or set up monthly donations.

Canada Helps Payment ServiceWe have registered our church with Canada Helps so that they can process payments on our behalf. Canada Helps is a charity in their own right but focus entirely on providing payment services to Canadian non-profit groups. By registering with Canada Helps we can have them accept payment with credit cards or bank cards on our behalf.
When you click on the logo above or click here you go to the UCE page at Canada Helps. With Canada Helps you can use your credit cards to donate one-time or monthly. The other thing you can do with Canada Helps is to give a donation as a gift. Canada Helps also gives you the ability to give securities (stocks and bonds). When a stock increases in value you may have to pay capital gains taxes on the increase. By donating the security you may be able to avoid the additional taxes. Talk to your financial advisor to see if this would work for you. One note. There is an option to give your donation anonymously. The amount you donate to the church is confidential but we'd really like to know who our supporters are. What does it cost? There is no charge to the donor. You get a tax receipt instantly for the full amount of your donation. The church is charged a handling fee of between 3.5% and 4% which is actually pretty good for a credit card service fee.
