An easy way to pay as you go! Your checking or savings account is debited once per month.  Bank Draft is an automatic monthly withdrawal from your checking or savings account.  We will need a copy or voided check and the first month payment to begin Bank Draft.  This plan is perpetual, which means once started it runs continuously until you decide to stop.  To terminate or change a Bank Draft membership you are required to complete a cancellation/change form at the YMCA-YWCA.  This notification must be received by the first of the month to be effective for that month.
