BANKING: Government Payments

As I'm writing this post I am also taking a very deep breath and exhaling...great self-control is required when communicating about questions concerning CRA payroll accounts :) 

In particular, when payments for individual church payroll deductions are misapplied to wrong accounts or to the national office payroll account by the CRA.

We may have a solution to the problem but it will require a bit of action on your part:

I have been in discussion with the CIBC Bank over the past few weeks to confirm a simple process for our churches to set-up Online Government Payments for payroll deductions.  If the church is still mailing in payments to the CRA it's highly recommended moving to a direct pay method.

First, it will ensure that payments will be applied to the correct account.  Second, it will save time from preparing cheques or travelling to make payments at the bank.  Finally, if payments are being mailed they will not be delayed by the current mail disruptions.  But that's another story!

For those churches that are currently banking with CIBC, please contact Charmaine Provost directly by email at charmaine.provost@cibc.com or you can also contact her by phone at 604.665.1008.  If you have questions or would like more information before proceeding please let me know.

Hope this is useful!!!
