Our Bank has Changed!

We are now using Home Trust, a local bank that will enable us to better serve our missions family. Please be aware of the following items as we make this transition.

  • In order to have next-day funds available in a US Bank, our office must receive the request by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Requests received after that will take two business days to show in your US bank.
  • We will not be making banking transfers during the week of September 3-6, to ensure there are no issues during the transition.
  • Starting on September 9, please be aware that transfers from WWNTBM may appear somewhat differently on your statements.

Identity Protection

Risks of identity theft continue to rise. Awareness of how your information is stored and used is key to protecting yourself. World Wide strives to protect the information you entrust to us. Here are ways you can further protect yourself.

    • Click this link to watch an Identity Theft Prevention video from our bank.
    • Do not send sensitive information (account numbers, balances, or financial requests) to anyone via email.
    • Utilize our Signal Private Messenger app to request transfers to your account, or call our main office number at 704-730-1440 to speak with us directly. If you do not have Signal and need to contact us after hours, you may call the main number and leave a voicemail.
    • Utilize our SecureCloud file transfer system to share documents with sensitive information.
    • Note: Monthly Financial Reports typically do not contain sensitive information such as account numbers. For submitting those reports, please use the email address [email protected] instead of SecureCloud.

    Trip Insurance

    We recently heard of a situation where a missionary traveling on a short-term trip needed to be evacuated to the US for medical needs. The process was lengthy and expensive! If you are traveling internationally, you may wish to consider trip insurance. Some credit card companies offer policies for trips purchased with their card. Most airlines offer options at the time of purchasing tickets. Our staff has also used Seven Corners Insurance. They cover overseas medical care in addition to trip cancellation or evacuation needs. They will also provide medical insurance for those coming to the US for short periods of time if the individual’s overseas insurance does not cover US needs.

    Birth Announcement!

    Hudson Michael McKinney was born on August 15. He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. Hudson is the third son of Jacob and Shera McKinney and joins his brothers Ryland (6) and Landon (4). The McKinneys are finishing their deputation and hope to leave for their first term in Bolivia early in 2020.
