Finally, view more information about each donor, such as their contact information, donation history, and messages, by clicking on the donor's name to be taken to their donor profile.
 

Bank Deposits

To access Bank Deposits click on Bank Deposits on the right-hand navigation menu.

This tab provides a break down of daily bank deposits to help make reconciliation a breeze.  You can easily see all the donations included in each daily deposit. This is a great tool for managing organizational finances as you can quickly check each week for the bank deposits you expected, ensuring the numbers add up as expected.

When on the Bank Deposits screen, you can filter deposits by a specified time frame by clicking the This Year: drop-down and choosing which preset or custom time-frame you'd like to see.

In addition, filter each Bank Deposit by their transaction status - whether they have posted to your bank account or whether they are still pending.

By clicking a deposit in the Deposit amount column, you'll be shown a total list of donations included in the deposit and detailed information on each deposit, such as donation date / time, donor, total amount donated, fees, the net deposit, and which Envelope / Campaign the donation was directed for.
