USIO - Usio Announces Partnership with One Church Software to Power One Church Giving an Integrated Payment Solution
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Usio (Nasdaq: USIO), a tech-enabled payment solutions provider, announced today that they have executed an agreement with One Church Software, a Miami, Florida-based church management software platform, where One Church has integrated Usio’s ‘PayFac-in-a-Box’ technology and as a result, will launch its One Church Giving offering to existing and future prospective clients across its church management solution this month. The One Church Software partnership represents Usio’s continued penetration within the ministry and non-profit verticals.
Vaden Landers, EVP and Chief Revenue Officer at Usio, said, “I am extremely excited that One Church Software has chosen to integrate our best-in-class payments technology into their comprehensive church management software. By leveraging our payment facilitation ‘integration layer’, One Church will be afforded the unparalleled capability to very quickly and effortlessly contract and onboard, by request, their existing customer base to our PayFac-in-a-Box platform allowing for penetration and mass adoption in short order. The relationship between both parties will enable churches and ministries to efficiently accept tithes, offerings and donations on their website or through the management software in a variety of ways including check and card, and as single or recurring transactions. Through their reporting interface, church financial staff will be able to view, in real time, all tithes and offerings for any given day, week, month or year. Additionally, church members will be able to see amounts given, the frequency at which they gave and print statements at year-end for tax reporting purposes, effectively eliminating traditional manual processes widely used by churches for decades.”
JR Lovins, Co-founder of One Church Software, stated, “We are excited about our partnership with Usio. Our goal has always been to provide easy-to-use software solutions that help churches minister more effectively to their members, volunteers, and community. Our partnership with Usio provides a great solution for receiving and processing the tithes, offerings and donations made to churches that we serve. Churches derive value through this partnership as a result of our ability to compete effectively on price relative to the market while leveraging the ability to access needed payments functionality, whether card or ACH, that is now embedded in our technology. Furthermore, full access to detailed reporting into every transaction gives us and the churches and ministries we serve the visibility we need.”
