Is it safe?
ACH is a very easy, very
safe method of sending funds to intended receivers. It is safer that using a
credit card or even writing a check. Why? First, ACH does not move through
multiple hands in its processing – like a cash register attendant, money
counter, etc. One original form with your signature is maintained in the secured
Missioners’ files (no digital documentation with your information is kept on a
computer) and the rest is secured by Wachovia Bank. But the more obvious reason
it is safe is that it is impossible to be “anonymous” – a person can use your
credit card info to buy off the internet or at a store and leave with the
“goods”. ACH requires a legitimate bank and bank at each end of the transaction.
A bogus “draw” would have an easy trail back to the account that received the
funds – with all the pertinent info of those who own and manage that account.
For these and other reasons, this form of support is quite safe.
