Thanks for your help Christopher !

Over the last several months, Christopher Rivers has been a burst of energy in the SecureGive office. His contagious energy has been an inspiration to all of us. He is an effective salesman. In his career, whether selling real estate or mortgages, Christopher has risen to the top. I smile when I think about his enthusiasm. If I remember correctly, during a two week period he had contacted around 200 potential clients.

Christopher has transitioned away from our company. We wish him well in his new endeavors. One thing for sure, he will rise to the top of the mountain very soon. It's just in him.

Be blessed Christopher .... you have been a blessing to SecureGive and our clients.

Sincerely,

Patty Baker

SecureGive Options.

I have found that many churches have a preconceived notion about the service that we offer. Did you know we have churches that only have Debit only on their On Site Donation kiosk?


Another thing, we have tested several churches and have found that 85-90% of all the transactions each month are debit only. So even for the churches that do offer all types of credit even the majority is debit.

If the main reason you do not want to be a candidate is because you do not want to encourage people to go into debt, could this debit only solution bring it back to the table? If anything reconsider this information. Our culture lives their life with their debit card. Why should church be any different?

Questions Answered

Recently, I had someone ask me some questions in regards to Securegive and our On site Donation Kiosk. I thought I would post these questions as they do pop up from time to time....

1. Do you integrate with Shelby?
It's a bit of a stretch to say SecureGive integrates with Shelby and other Church Management Software companies.... We are in the process of working on a "true" integration with Fellowship One. We can import membership data and export contribution data for your church if you use Shelby. We do this through a .csv file. Our software is robust.


3. Have you established a two way sync or a periodic overwrite with any ChMs?
Two way manual sync...import member information....export donation information.


4. Are your batches /entries based on deposit date or transaction date?
Deposit date.

5. Do your kiosk offer anything other than giving?
At the moment we have found that the kiosk best use is for giving only.
