However, this is a good chance to share our preference for your payments of the coming year's pledge:
Automatic Monthly Online Bill Payment!
As you think about your pledge payments, the UUSA encourages you to submit checks directly from your bank via automatic online bill payment. You can set up monthly recurring payments that are equal to your yearly pledge amount divided by 12 months. This is a convenient option for those who use online banking: no need to write or send a monthly check — the bank will do it for you! — avoids the need to write those bothersome checks, avoids mail delays, saves a stamp!
If you do online banking, it's as simple as logging in to your “Pay My Bills” or “Online Banking & Bill Pay” link — whichever description your bank uses — and having the funds sent directly to the UUSA office. Your bank will ask for the address for UUSA — P.O. Box 502, Amherst, MA 01004 — so they know where to send the funds.
Alternatively, you may set up a recurring ACH payment via our website -- we ask that you cover transaction fees.
These are quite small if you link to your banking account (vs using a credit card).
