Some of you use bill paying services, such as a bank or 
credit union.  I also use my bank service to pay all of my 
bills.  The only checks I have written in the last year are 
to the ward to give to the bishop for tithing and offerings.

I have not had much of a desire to pay tithing electronically, 
but I am aware of some members who very much would like 
to do so.  Do any of you have experience in this area?

I believe I heard once (on this list, in fact) that SL 
has accounts that can be used, a different number 
for each type of contribution (tithing to one account, 
fast offering to another).

My question is this.  What type of feedback does the 
bishop get if a member pays electronically directly to 
SL?  Does he get a report of how much the member 
pays in tithing?  Does he get anything at all that shows 
the member is even paying tithing?  (I know that when 
a member pays tithing in kind, only the member gets 
any report back from SL.)

Do fast offering or ward missionary contributions get 
credited back to the ward for appropriate use there?

We have anumber of service members who are 
mailing envelopes back to their bishops every few 
weeks.  Some have asked is there is a better way.

The bishops are wondering how it works, as well.

I did not want to query SL at this point.  But if some 
of you have experience, or at least some good tales 
to tell, please share.  I will figure out which way to 
go after that  Thanks.
