eGiving facilitates the electronic collection of tithes and offerings for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific Division. The app enables the returning of tithes and giving of offerings to all churches set up for eGiving using credit and debit cards, BPAY and direct debit. Defaults for church and payment methods can be set up to make repeat giving easy. For those who wish to schedule planned giving, the app allows recurring transactions on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis. Recurring transactions can be edited and deleted within the app. To facilitate the highest quality app, some usage information, such as app crashes are collected through the Bug Snag platform. Access to this platform is restricted to employees of the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the software development partner, Rocket Lab Pty Ltd. Weโ€™d love to hear your feedback at eGiving@myadventist.org

Access, Made Effortless. Bensonยฎ turns your phone into the simplest way to open, close and keep an eye on your garage whether you're pulling out of the driveway, halfway to work, or away for the weekend. Set it up once and Benson does the rest: a nudge when the door's been left open, easy access for the people you trust, and a clear log of everything that's happened while you were out. Stay in the know from anywhere. Real-time alerts let you know the moment your door opens or closes, a heads-up if it's been open longer than it should be, and a friendly reminder when your opener is due for a service. Manage every door from one place. Look after every garage that matters from home, work, the holiday house, from a single app, without juggling accounts. Share access with people you trust. Give family, friends or a delivery driver full or one-off entry, then switch it off in a tap when they no longer need it. Open your garage your way. Benson works alongside your existing remotes, and opens straight from Apple CarPlay the moment you roll up. Make it yours. Set partial opening for ventilation or the dog, and choose the hours your door can be used. Your home, your rules. Access, made effortless
