Reduce the hassle of payment disbursements
Managing the day-to-day function of government has lots of moving parts, especially when it comes to administration, accounting, and one-time disbursements. And two of the biggest headaches that can throw a wrench into any operation? Paper checks and unclaimed property.
Issuing checks for payment comes with a lengthy list of challenges, including:
Reconciling uncashed checks
Work release and parolee administration
Juror administration and payments
Restitution, bond, and child support payments
Unclaimed property and escheatment
Check fraud
The high cost of issuing paper checks
Cash handling security issues
Stop payment fees for lost/stolen checks
Operational inefficiency
Rethink payment disbursements

“CourtFunds is such a great product that we were so excited to finally have a jury trial so we could try out the product! It was such an easy process and experience for us. I plan on telling everyone how smoothly it went to set up and use. I can’t imagine why more counties are not set up with CourtFunds!”
— Cindy L. Joosten, Clerk of Circuit Court, Wood County, WI
“We implemented CourtFunds in January of 2020, and we have had such a positive response from our jurors! Jurors love the fact that they receive their card the first day of service and the funds are loaded on Friday by 5:00 P.M. — no waiting on a check, which in our case, took up to two weeks or more, depending on where the Finance Department was on their check runs. CourtFunds has been a LIFESAVER for the process of getting our jurors paid and saving the taxpayers of Horry County money!”
— Lara C. Robinson, Juror Coordinator, Hoory County, SC
