How to link your Swiftaid account
If you do not already have a Swiftaid account, you will need to create one. You must be registered for Gift Aid with HMRC in order to create an account and will need your HMRC reference number to hand.
Once logged into your Swiftaid account, you will need to go to Donation sources. Select Give as you Live, and follow the instructions.
For more information, please view Swiftaid's instructional video on the right.below.
Once set up, go to your Admin to link your account.
