It is now possible to donate electronically in the Krijtberg Church. Directly at the entrance of the church is a black column containing a payment machine. You can choose an amount (€ 1, -, € 5, -, € 10, – or € 25, -) and pay contactless by keeping your payment card close to the device. The four blue lights must light up and will confirm that you have paid. There is also a slot at the bottom where a card can be inserted; to the right of the device is a slot for credit cards. Thanks to the direct connection to the Internet, it works very quickly.
It is an experiment; time and practice will show whether there are wishes for improvement. In preparation is a collective basket containing a similar device (the size of a mobile phone) where payment can be made in a similar way.
The collectors continue to do their meritorious work; for those who do not have cash with them, there is now the possibility to digitally contribute before or after their church visit.
The donations come directly to the account of the R.K. Foundation De Krijtberg and is reserved for the maintenance of the church building. At a later stage it will be possible to make donations for a specific purposes.
