Case Study: Faith Baptist Bartlett achieves dramatically faster, safer electronic check processing with Shelby Systems

Faith Bapist Bartlett - Customer Case Study

Faith Baptist Bartlett, a busy church in the Memphis suburb of Bartlett, TN, was spending many hours each week manually processing hundreds of check donations, tithes, and cash envelopes. Financial Associate Sylvia Manley and staff scanned checks one at a time and physically transported deposits to the bank, a labor-intensive process that strained office resources and posed security concerns.

The church implemented Shelby Teller, a Check 21–compatible solution from Shelby Systems and ProfitStars that lets staff scan checks, envelopes and donor slips, automatically update member records, and transmit electronic ACH/Check 21 deposits. The system cut processing time from about 14–15 hours a week to 4–6 hours, eliminated routine bank trips, improved deposit security, and quickly proved its value to the staff.
