ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for automatically determining and collecting a monetary contribution from an instrument associated with a donor. An embodiment of a method according to the invention includes receiving an instrument, determining a currency amount of the instrument, and determining a monetary contribution. If the instrument is a financial instrument, the method rounds the currency amount of the financial instrument downward to a lower currency amount; and determines the difference (a positive value) between the amount of the financial instrument and the lower currency amount for the monetary contribution. If the instrument is a billing instrument, the method rounds the currency amount of the billing instrument upward to a higher currency amount; and determines the difference (a positive value) between the higher currency amount and the amount of the billing instrument for the monetary contribution. The method also collects the monetary contribution into the target account.
