Once your electronic donation method (EFT or PayPal) is approved, it may take up to one full disbursement cycle—typically 30 days—for the new payment method to take effect. This delay occurs because our internal teams often begin processing disbursements before your application is fully approved. As a result, your first donation payout after approval may still be sent via your previously approved method.
To check the status of your payment method, visit the Donation Method tab in the Benevity Causes Portal. Once your EFT or PayPal application is successfully processed, all future disbursements will be automatically sent to the designated account.
