Over the last decade, expectations have changed. Everyone is connected to their technology and expects to be able to communicate, connect, and consume information easily.

Now you can with Blackbaud’s portfolio for dioceses, the only complete cloud-based portfolio for dioceses and their extended organizations. Gain a connected, centralized database for your offices, parishes, ministries, and their fundraising and finance staffs.
Deliver your ministry and mission effectively with help from one technology provider.
Daily Disbursements
Disbursements to your account will be made every business day, excluding bank holidays.
More details, including a sample disbursement calendar, are located in the Disbursement Information tab under General Settings from within the Blackbaud Merchant Services Web Portal.
As a reminder, Blackbaud will both deposit funds and debit your bank account for the full amount of any negative or debit balances (including any chargebacks and reversals). Failure of an attempted debit will place all payouts on hold so be sure your bank allows both deposits and debits from these merchant ACH IDs.
Credit Card Updater
Using Credit Card Updater, you can minimize disruptions in monthly revenue. Your first updates will be received in 6-8 weeks, following our security and registration processes, and monthly thereafter.
Credit Card Updater is available in the following Blackbaud solutions. To ensure that it is properly configured and you can begin receiving updates, please review the documentation below:
