Things to keep in mind when filling out the form:

• The principal-agent or applicant mentioned in the form can be anyone, as long as they have they can authorize charges to the account and sign checks for the account.
• When filling out the field for Social Security Number, enter the Social Security Number for the principle-agent or applicant.  This is for the Identity verification of the principle-agent or applicant.
• The principle-agent or applicant will need to provide a driver's license (picture or scanned and uploaded in the form), and the principle-agent or applicant address will need to match that of their  driver's license.  This is also for the identity verification of the principle-agent or applicant.
• You will need to provide a copy of a voided check (also can be a picture or scanned and uploaded in the form).
• You will need a 501C3 or other proof of non-profit status.  Joint rulings from the diocese are acceptable documents.
• The church's account manager may be able to assist with filling out these applications.
• If a church's bank is merging, so they would be getting new bank account numbers/routing numbers, it may be best to set up the giving site with the new account (if the merge date is known). To do so, submit a letter from the new bank on the bank's letterhead showing the new bank's name and account/routing number.
