Updating Your Givelify Account With Your New “Chip” Card

If you haven’t already received your new “chip” card – a credit or debit card with a small, metallic chip –you will soon.

Most banks and credit card companies have begun issuing these new cards with the embedded EMV (Europay, MasterCard, and Visa) chip. This article contains all the information you need to update your Givelify account to work with your new “chip” card!

EMV chips have been used in Europe for about 20 years, but the technology is just making its way to American banks. The main advantage of chip cards is that each time the card is used, the chip creates a unique transaction code that can never be used again.

This means that a hacker trying to make a transaction with stolen credit card information would be automatically declined, as the code used for the initial purchase is unusable.

Here are a few resources for learning more about these new cards:

Updating Your Personal Giving Account

Your credit or debit card number may or may not change, but you will still need to update your Givelify personal giving account after activating your new card.

You can add or update your credit or debit card information by beginning the donation process. After you select your donation amount and reach the “1-Tap Give Now” screen, tap “Use Different Payment.“
