Giving Kiosk

ABC News just posted an article, “An ATM for God,” about a ‘Giving Kiosk’ that was released by Secure Give. Interesting concept, I wonder how difficult it would be to tie in with FellowshipOne. It would also be great if they could make it work with event registration as well as contributions.
I just sent Secure Give a quick email about these questions.

I saw another article on that church that said the pastor was the one behind it (as in, thought it up and was making a cut off each transaction).
I’m not necessarily saying that it’s wrong for that pastor to make money off of it, but it might be a hindering block for some people. On a side note, I do know our pastor keeps talking about electronic giving after seeing that newspaper story.

I know we would be up for considering a kiosk like this provided it was a reasonable price. I know that credit card merchants and electronic brokers already take cuts on each transaction, but hopefully we would be able to use our own instead of them.
