Please contact CAMH Foundation at 1 800 414-0471 during our office hours. Please do not send your payment details to us by email.
You (the Payer) make arrangements for PAD (also known as Direct Debit) payments from your bank account with the biller (CAMH Foundation). This agreement can be made through a digital form on a tablet a canvasser is carrying, through our web site, or over the telephone. In order to set up or change your PAD payment, we will require the following information: transit (branch) number, institution number and account number. The agreement specifies the amount, timing, frequency or event that will result in a PAD, as well as the account from which the funds are to be withdrawn.
To find out more about PADs, please visit the Canadian Payment Association's FAQ for Pre-Authorized Debit website.
Under the provisions of Payments Canada’s Rule H1, if a PAD is returned due to insufficient funds, CAMH Foundation may re-attempt to process the payment once, and this must be done within 30 days of the original transaction date for the same amount as the original transaction. CAMH Foundation cannot charge service fees.
Payments Canada’s mandate does not extend to service fees that may be charged by financial institutions, so this is not addressed in Rule H1. You will need to discuss the matter with your financial institution. In accordance with CRA regulations, under no circumstance can CAMH reimburse you for NSF fees charged by your financial institution.
Please reach out to CAMH Foundation at 1 800 414-0471 during office hours, or by email at ChangeAgents@camh.ca and we would be happy to update your giving details. Please note that sometimes, account updates including banking information, can take a few days to process.
We do mail and email supporters who have missed a payment or whose payment information is expiring. Please do not send your payment details to us by email. If you have any concerns about mail that you receive from CAMH Foundation, please contact us at 1 800 414-0471 during office hours or by email at ChangeAgents@camh.ca.
There is no automatic end date to a monthly gift.
Please notify us by calling 1 800 414-0471 if any withdrawal from your account is not in accordance with the terms of your agreement, or processed after you have cancelled the agreement.
