By default, Webconnex Payments will show the first 22 characters of your event page name on a registrant’s bank statement. In some cases, though, you may prefer to display consistent text on all bank statements, no matter which event page the registrant used to sign up.
Note: You can customize what typically appears on a registrant’s bank statement, but the registrant’s bank has the final say in what is displayed on the bank statement. In some cases, the bank may show information that differs from your settings.

Note: The option to add static text to your payment processor only becomes available when your payment processor is fully active. While your account is being verified, the option to use a custom descriptor will not appear.
From the Pages screen, hover your mouse over the Gear icon on the top right-hand corner
Select Payment Processors from the dropdown
Click the pencil icon under the payment processor you want to edit
In the Statement Descriptor section, select Custom Descriptor
Add the static text you would like to display on registrants' bank statements
Click Save
Note: When adding a custom descriptor, you can add a maximum of 22 characters. If your desired text is longer than 22 characters, we recommend condensing your text so it is under the character limit.
