## Vanco Faith Reviews
  ### 1. Great Online Giving, Disappointing Credit Card Reader, Disappointing Startup

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anthony R. | Branch Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2026

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

The online giving features are excellent.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

The credit card reader uses outdated technology. It works only on Apple iPhones and iPads that have a headphone port. Apple has not sold an iPhone with a headphone port in a long time, and Apple stopped selling its last iPad model with an headphone port in 2024.

Vanco advertises that a dedicated staff member will be available for the first 30 days to help new customers with setup. That experience was disappointing. It consisted mostly of sending me generic email messages with training videos and templates for announcing use of Vanco to constituents.

I tried one of the training videos. That was also disappointing. The person doing the demo in the video said multiple times, "Your screen will not look like this, but ...." Why show me something that is different from what I am using?

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is proving a good platform to accept online donations and payments. This saves time vs having to handle cash or checks.

  ### 2. A solid tool and resource but with aging membership, we've been slow adopters.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert T. | Retired, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

The phone app is easy to use and, most importantly, works reliably.   Our church has not made much use of the main website tools, mainly because there are modest concerns that giving into the various online buckets may or may not mesh well with the existing/legacy financial software used at our church.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

Not sure that there's anything we don't like.  Just wish the tools available were more commonly used by our members.  While our e-giving at our church is good (in terms of percentages) the text and mobile giving still seems pretty small.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Providing options for giving seems like a good idea.  I'm told that having mobile giving options leans positive, particularly for younger people and their families.  Clearly one size fits all is for a time long ago.

  ### 3. Slightly clunky, but gets the job done.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karen P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2023

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

Vanco allows our church to create professional-looking donation and registration pages for regular online giving and events. Customer service is very responsive and helpful.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

The interface for creating the registration and donation pages could be more intuitive and offer more options for setting up forms.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vanco offers a way for our congregation to safely give online and register/pay for special events.

  ### 4. Support makes the difference for Vanco.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chester H. | Church Business Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

Each time I have had to contact Vanco with a question, I am fully satisfied with the turn-around speed and thoroughness of the answers.  i have both made phone inquiries and email.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

The reports are not consistent in the location of information.  The layout varies from report type to report type where things are lined up.  It would be far easier to flip from one to another if the fields were all in line report to report.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vanco provides a convenient way for people to perform one-time giving; as well as, continuous giving.  It fully integrates with our current CRM which has taken away a substantial amount of time generating manual entries.

  ### 5. No complaints!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stacey H. | Business Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

We have had good customer service, the employees I've interacted with have always been kind and helpful, and from an accounting standpoint, we haven't had any issues.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

Trinity has 4 Web Pages that I manage from your site.  The process is pretty simple but very basic. That may be my fault, but there doesn't seem to be many options from which to choose.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have been with the organization for 1 1/2 years and was never adequately trained to Manage their Web Pages. I've called and spoken to a Vanco Customer Service Rep. several times. They have always been understanding and able to assist me promptly.

  ### 6. User Friendly

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

For the most part, it is user-friendly. In addition, it conveniently locates everything to one place, and we can link our online giving directly to our church software for ease of documenting tithes.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

As is true with all technology, it doesn't always work as we want it to. For example, some users have had issues setting up their recurring tithe.  I tried to help them and called Vanco Support.  The best answer I got was for the user to download the latest version of the app or to completely delete their tithes and start over.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vanco Faith helps us connect our members (and non-members) who are unable to be with us in person.  This was especially important during Covid when we wanted to do everything we could to stay connected, especially online.

  ### 7. Simple and Easy

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cheryl L. | Parish Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

Vanco Faith is very direct. The layout is easy and simple to understand and use. It has helped immensely with online giving for our church as well as our Early Childhood Ministry school. I also appreciate that when I call to ask about a product or get clarification, the workers are always kind and helpful!

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

There is really very little that I dislike about Vanco Faith. If anything, I don't find many answers on the help page I get redirected to. I usually call to speak with someone instead.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Vanco Faith has provided a solution to our need for online contributions and tuition payments. It works great with our Church Windows software and makes life easier to input the data.

  ### 8. 4 YEARS' EXPERIENCE WITH PDS

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

The Customer support department is wonderful!  I never have trouble getting someone on the line whenever I have a question or a problem.  With many other companies I have to talk to an automated system and then wait on hold forever, but that's never happened with Vanco.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

I would prefer to have an improved documentation capability.  In my experience, if something isn't documented then it "never happened".  Currently, the documentation on the Vanco system is a little clumsy.  I've learned to live with it but I'd be so happy if they made some changes.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It gives me the unlimited ability to schedule payments for our donors and is very user-friendly when it comes to making changes.  It gives our donors an alternate way to pay.

  ### 9. Vanco Faith, easy and effective

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adrianna C. | Business Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

Reports and customer service is very responsive

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

At times challenging to find users, and marketing material needs to be electronic

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not sure I understand this question

  ### 10. Mostly satisfied - you need to fix your reports.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rick F. | Accountant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

Picture capability. 
Easy setup & updating

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

Credit card payments require printing 2 reports (not in the Classic version).
Fee additions don't show separately (not in the Classic version).

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows members to pay on line & use CCs.

  ### 11. Our donations are processed and received like clockwork. Very dependable.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

The fact that we can use the mobile app to offer an option to those people who prefer using debit and/ or credit cards.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

I dislike that the person using the app can choose to pay the "fee", but the church still gets a fee. Very misleading.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can offer a way for individuals who cannot attend in person, to be able to make their tithe / offering.

  ### 12. Good services with great customer support

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frank T. | Student Mentor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2022

**What do you like best about Vanco Faith?**

The customer support you receive is great. They are very caring of their customers and want to make sure you are happy.

**What do you dislike about Vanco Faith?**

Until recently their services were a bit outdated.

**What problems is Vanco Faith solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They offer a great way for non-profits, churches specifically, to obtain donations from their congregation. The church I am a member of uses their services.
