At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story is POD GIVING.

 

For today's churchgoer, here's a situation we all know too well. You're sitting at your church service, pastor preaching, band rocking out to the newest Hillsong release, and the offering basket comes around. You don't reach for the cash you never carry and you can't pull out your checkbook because you stopped writing checks a long time ago, but you want to help your church's ministries. You want to give, but you want to do it with a card, and you want it to be easy. Let's be honest, if there was an easier way, you'd be giving way more back to your church during the service than you're giving now.

 

If the future of the church is the folks who want to help their churches, why isn't there a more convenient way to give during the offering?

 

Payment habit statistics tell us that paying by card dominates the way people pay for things. Doubt that? Google it. Or maybe Ask Jeeves,  if you're one of the those who thinks you are the only one not still carrying a checkbook. That's why we created POD, the fastest, simplest way to give with your card to the church and ministries you care deeply about during your church service. Here's how POD works:

• the POD device is passed around like your traditional offering basket
• when you get it, you'll see it's four-sided, and each side is a predefined amount to give
• swipe whatever side you want to give and the POD will blink saying you're good to go

Think about this real quick. POD's "swipe and pass" basket is just as fast and simple as the traditional "drop and pass" basket. Everyone carries a card and almost nobody carries cash. Why wouldn't your church try it out? Speaking on behalf of most of us who carry cards, but not cash or checkbooks, we want a convenient way to give back to our church during the service, and we want it to be easy. And that's the reason POD was born.
