Why should I add Automated Check Depositing to our account?
Hand-written checks are still a common way for church-goers to express their generosity and it’s important to have an effective system in place so those slips of paper don’t get lost or go unnoticed. However, church administrators, finance secretaries, and accountants spend hours manually entering checks into their giving or church management system to ensure all giving is accounted for.
A generic check scanner integrated with your church management software helps to automate the manual data entry but a trip to the bank is still needed to deposit the checks. Likewise, a bank-provisioned check scanner completes half the job – depositing the checks into your bank account but has no way to connect back to your software.
Ministry Brands in partnership with ProfitStars is offering a new Automated Check Deposit feature to make this entire process seamless! Scan your checks, associate them to your donors, and you’re done! Your deposited checks will immediately be displayed in your Ministry Brands giving module and batch deposit reporting will be available when they have settled into your bank account. You may be using a similar solution mentioned above, but the power of Ministry Brands’s automated check deposit feature is the ability for all giving data to reside together in one place – making reporting, reconciliation, and organization so easy.
We already have a check scanning device.. can we use it with this feature?
We’ve partnered with Tekestra to provide the supported check scanning devices at discount prices when purchased through the dedicated Ministry Brands catalogue. If you already have access to a check scanner you may be able to use it with this feature. Please review the below guide to see if your existing scanners meet the requirements of ProfitStars SmartPay and if not, you will need to purchase a new scanner.
