Howto: Change Payment Methods in Vanco Online Giving

As of Summer 2026. We realize that many parishioners are affected by bank mergers or take-overs and need to update their checking accounts or reissued bank cards. Here are instructions to make these updates in our online giving system.

By mobile app:

1. If you do not have the application installed, install it.
   1. First, go to the “Google Play Store” or the Apple “App Store,” depending on your phone choice. 
   2. Search for the application by typing “Vanco Mobile” in the search section of the store app.
   3. Once you see the application, tap “Install” or “Get”
   4. You’ll see a progress indicator, and it will let you know when it is installed. 
   5. Click “Open”
2. Next, tap on “Log in,” then enter your user ID and password. Tap to choose whether you want to stay signed in. 
3. Next, look at the top left, where you will see 3 lines (called a “hamburger menu”), tap to open the menu.
4. Tap “My Account.”
5. Look down on the screen, and you’ll see “Payment Methods.”
6. Delete any old payment methods by tapping on the trash can icon next to the numbers. It will ask you to confirm. Once you do, this account will be removed from your Vanco profile. 
7. To add a new method, tap on “Add new payment method.”
8. Enter the account information, and then tap “Save.”
9. Repeat Steps 7 & 8 if you wish to have more than one method to donate.
10. If you have scheduled donations, you will have to specify this payment method for those schedules.
11. Once done, look at the top of the screen. Tap on the “<” icon. Then you may “Log out” if you wish.

By computer on a web browser:

5. The screen will change.  Look on the left-hand side and click on “Payment Methods.”  You should see your old account showing the last four digits. Click “Remove.”
6. If you have other methods to donate and want to delete them, repeat step 5.
7. If you need to add a new financial account, then click “Home” at the top-left menu. 
8. Select a category you wish to donate to. 
9. A new screen will be shown. Enter the amount you wish to donate and whether it should be a one-time or recurring donation.
