Company turns Windows PCs into donations kiosks

December 1, 2010

Software company ServiceU Corp. announced today that it has developed kiosk software to enable churches to lock down any existing Windows PC in order to create a custom giving kiosk. With the launch of TransactU kiosk features, an addition to the popular TransactU online donation and event registration software for churches, any organization can easily turn any Windows PC into a giving kiosk without purchasing expensive hardware, the company says.

Churches can easily provide their members and guests with a secure and convenient way to use their debit or credit cards to make donations or register for events on-site through these new donation kiosk software features.

"Because people rarely carry cash or checkbooks when they attend church services, churches are eager to look at different ways to encourage faithful tithing and giving," ServiceU founder and CEO Tim Whitehorn said in the announcement. "The TransactU kiosk features provide church members and guests with an easy way to give on-site, while giving is on their minds, with just a swipe of their debit or credit card."

In addition to being in compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) as a Level 1 Service Provider, ServiceU has also installed numerous security features to ensure the security of the financial data. Because givers will be swiping their credit cards, there are no numbers to be entered, making the locked down PC impenetrable to keystroke logging software.
