Post Financial Information from a Lockbox Company

With this quick posting, you can post pledge and/or payment information that you import from a file provided by a lockbox company.

If you have an event that generates a large amount of pledges, you can contract with a lockbox company to collect the data. Then, you can import the results into your program. This makes it easy to get data into your program when the volume of data entry exceeds your diocese's in-house capacity.

Once you receive the file from your lockbox company, you can import the information.

  1. On the Diocese tab, click Development Funds > Quick Posting > Lockbox.
  2. Select the bank you received your import file from.

    • The amount pledged (unique to each entry)
    • The amount paid (unique to each entry)
    • The payment type (check or credit card)
