Switching from ChurchSuite to MosesTab

Gift Aid, Bacs Direct Debit and PCC governance in one platform

Most UK churches complete the switch in under 60 minutes; plan a parallel quarter for Gift Aid verification

What switching from ChurchSuite looks like

ChurchSuite's help centre explains how to export each module's data to CSV with its Table Generator, and MosesTab imports it straight into member profiles.
MosesTab includes UK-specific features — HMRC Gift Aid CSV, Bacs Direct Debit, Electoral Roll, PCC governance and GDPR data-subject-request workflows.
No downtime. Run both platforms in parallel for a quarter so you can verify Gift Aid and giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Gift Aid claims work in MosesTab?

MosesTab generates the HMRC Charities Online Gift Aid CSV in the schedule format HMRC expects, and tracks each donor's active declaration automatically. You upload the file through the Government Gateway.

Does MosesTab integrate with Bacs?

Yes. MosesTab supports Bacs Direct Debit collection at Bacs interchange rates (typically £0.20–£0.50 per transaction) instead of card processing fees. For recurring giving from active members, this is a meaningful cost reduction over card-based giving.

Can we keep ChurchSuite running during the switch?

Yes. Run both platforms in parallel for a quarter so you can verify Gift Aid claims and giving records before you move over fully.
