Can a Giving System Automate Both Online and Offline Giving?

Are you ready for this: Online giving can now manage offline giving, too!

Online giving has evolved a lot in its 20+ year history. Despite huge leaps, no one had bridged the gap between online and offline giving: checks, cash and money orders, until recently.

The significant pain of processing offline gifts

For churches, processing cash and check gifts can be quite time-consuming, involving as many as 7 software applications.

This is mainly because it often requires TRIPLE SCANNING to get cash and check transactions into your giving system, your ChMS and your accounting system. For example, before becoming a Vision2 client, it took 17 people 4 days to process the Saddleback Church offering each week.

How Does Offline Gift Processing Help?

It's about time (and hassles). Vision2 enables churches like Saddleback to complete their offering processing in a matter of hours with just a few people.

Vision2’s integrated scanner provides unparalleled check scanning speed and accuracy for all kinds of checks (money orders, traveler’s checks, personal and business checks), as well as cash envelopes.

ONE SCAN enters all your giving data into our system, where we quickly transfer your noncash funds to your bank and send the information to your ChMS (reported at the campus level). (You'll still have to deposit any cash, but it's already recorded in the system.)

We automate every point of the gift’s lifecycle, including NSFs, chargebacks and bank files, and reconcile your giving to the penny every day.

How much time could your finance team recoup with single scanning of cash and checks?
