In order to provide an effective service, Swiftpay must collect information about Swiftpay members. However, Swiftpay is committed to only collecting the minimum information needed to provide the Swiftpay service, and never to use the information collected for any purposes other than providing the Swiftpay Service.

What information does Swiftpay gather?

To first open an account with Swiftpay all we require is a name, address and email address. We need the name, postal address and email to have contact details should we wish to contact them - the postal address should we be asked to send them a check, and the email address we use for routine communications. We never sell email addresses to third parties.

Echeck details

If a member wishes to deposit by echeck we then require some bank details. These are the member's bank account number, the bank's ABA number, the bank's name and the member's Social Security number (for security purposes). These bank details are kept strictly confidential, and only those Swiftpay employees as have been authorised to see them have access to those details.
