How giving and payments work

ROAR Circle keeps the records of your church’s giving. It never holds or moves the money: gifts go from the giver straight to your church’s own bank, mobile-money or payment account, or into the offering as cash.

Start your church

Step by step

Your treasurer lists the ways your church receives gifts: bank details, a mobile-money number, a link to your own payment page, or giving in cash at the service. Each way can point to a fund, such as tithes or a building fund.
Members see those ways in the app, with your instructions, and give through your bank, mobile money or payment page, or in cash.
Your treasurer records what came in, against the giver and the fund. Cash is counted and recorded in counting batches.
ROAR Circle prints giving statements for members, and reports for the treasurer and the board.

What ROAR Circle does not do

It never collects, holds or moves money, and takes no cut of giving.
There is no card payment inside ROAR Circle. If your church has its own card payment page, for example with Stripe or PayPal, members follow its link to your provider.
It does not send text messages or WhatsApp messages. Its messages go by app notification and email.
It does not claim that giving statements meet any country’s tax-receipt rules. Check with your accountant.

Ways to give a church can list

Bank transfer and cash anywhere; PayPal, Stripe, Wise, Payoneer, Western Union, MoneyGram and Ria; M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, Orange Money, Paystack and Flutterwave in Africa; GCash, Maya, UPI and Razorpay in Asia; Pix and Mercado Pago in Latin America; WiPay and MMG in the Caribbean; Zelle, Venmo and Cash App in North America; or any other link or instructions.
