How the money moves
A small part of a bill.A regular act of giving.
You choose the rule and the causes. Silent Hand keeps a record of what you set aside, then collects your gifts on Friday.
- 01
Log a bill
Enter a purchase by hand. Round up, give a percentage, or set a flat amount. Each gift is at least 50 cents.
- 02
Set it aside
Your giving wallet is a ledger of planned gifts. No money is moved when you log a bill.
- 03
Gather on Friday
At $5, or the level you choose, the week is collected by bank transfer. Below that, it rolls forward.
- 04
Paid directly
Each cause receives its share in its own verified account. There is no pooled account.
The 3% Silent Hand fee is shown up front and split off per donation.
On the last Friday of the month, 50 cents or more is collected.

For masjids and charities
From your community.Straight to you.
After review and verification, your organization connects its own account through our secure payment partner. Gifts are paid directly to that account. Payouts appear in your organization's own payout dashboard.
Silent Hand never holds donations in its own balance.
A place for your organizationThe cost, in plain sight
Small gifts.Clear fees.
Silent Hand charges 3% of each gift. Payment processing is separate. You see the fees before anything is collected.
You cover fees by default, so the estimated fees are added to what you pay. The payment processor takes its fee from the full amount charged, so the charity receives close to the whole gift, not exactly all of it: in the $10 example, about $10.00 by bank transfer and about $9.97 by card. Turn fee cover off and fees come out of the gift instead.
Every fee, explained| Where it goes | Bank transfer | Card |
|---|---|---|
| You pay, about | $10.38 | $10.89 |
| Payment processing, about | $0.08 | $0.62 |
| Silent Hand, 3% of the gift | $0.30 | $0.30 |
| The charity receives, about | $10.00 | $9.97 |
Estimates based on standard processing rates. Bank transfer (ACH): about 0.8%, capped at $5. Card: about 2.9% plus 30 cents.
That fixed 30 cent card charge is why small weekly collections go by bank transfer. Transfers take about four business days to settle. A returned debit can carry a fee.
