Questions & Answers

  • Getting Started

    1. Why do I need an Apple and Google developer account for my church app?

    To publish your church's app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, you'll need to have a developer account with each service. This allows you to manage your app's availability, updates, and compliance with platform policies, ensuring that your congregation has uninterrupted access to your app.

    2. How do you provide a church app with no monthly cost?

    Fi.church operates in collaboration with partner banks, offering financial services tailored for churches. When your church utilizes these services, such as making deposits or using the VISA credit/debit cards we provide, fi.church earns a commission. This commission is then used to offset the operational costs of your church app. By integrating banking with digital church management, we create a sustainable model that benefits your church community without the need for recurring app fees.
