Account Owner Explanation

When a Breeze account is first established, by default, the very first username & password that is created at signup is established as the “Account Owner”. This is an individual, acting on behalf of the "Organization" (ie. the Church), having full authority to enter into a binding contract on behalf of the Organization, that registers with the Service. 

What does this mean?

We recommend the account owner being someone you trust. This user will be the primary point of contact between your church and Breeze. Billing Issue alerts, Online Giving Issues, and important updates about your account will be sent to the email address associated with this user.

What If the Account Owner Is No Longer with My Organization?

In cases where the current Account Owner has left the organization or cannot log in to make necessary changes, follow these steps to ensure your account remains up-to-date:

  1. Prepare a Request on Official Letterhead: Draft a request detailing the need to change the Account Owner Contact. It should explicitly communicate which user was the account owner and which user should now be the account owner. This request must be written on your organization's official letterhead to verify its authenticity.
  2. Obtain the Chief Executive’s Signature: The request must be signed by the Chief Executive or an equivalent authority within your organization to demonstrate its approval and legitimacy.
  3. Contact Breeze Support: Submit your signed request to Breeze support. Ensure you include any relevant details that could assist in processing your request quickly.
