Cash Bond Online Brings On Two National Resellers

ATLANTA - March 24, 2013 - PRLog -- A

n automated payment service that was originally intended to assist one Georgia Sheriff’s Office now has a national presence through two recently signed partnership agreements. Cash Bond Online (CBO), a technology company which provides payment solutions to government agencies, has entered into a strategic alliance with two leaders in the correctional industry, Trinity Services Group (Trinity) and Combined Public Communications (Combined).

Cash Bond Online automates the payment system that allows cash bonds to be paid remotely with a credit card or debit card. Without automation, cash bonds have to be paid in person and most governmental entities do not accept credit cards. With the technology available today, it just does not make sense for someone to take time off from work, gather the necessary funds for payment and drive down to the jail or to the courthouse to pay someone’s bond.

Since 2010, Cash Bond Online has processed over $2.8 million dollars of cash bonds for Gwinnett County alone.

While using CBO services, it is estimated that Gwinnett County has saved taxpayers $100,000 in the cost to house, supervise, feed and provide medical care to inmates. Since Gwinnett County experienced such great success with the service, it became clear other jails could benefit from the automation.

CBO’s presence has grown outside of Georgia and serves over twenty-five county jails and judicial facilities in six states. The partnership with Trinity and Combined will allow Cash Bond Online’s services to be available to an even greater number of local jails.  Under the partnership agreement, Trinity and Combined will market CBO’s payment processing technology to new and existing customers and promote the automated cash bond service to facilities on a continuing basis.

Cash Bond Online’s payment solution allows inmates and friends and family to pay a cash bond 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week using credit cards and debit cards from anywhere in the world. All of Cash Bond Online’s services are provided to the agency at no cost.  Agencies can benefit from CBO’s payment solution in the following ways:

•     Ease jail overcrowding

•     Bond payments are received through ACH transfers to dedicated accounts, reducing the need for staff to handle cash

•     Minimize administrative burden in relation to cash bonds

•     Real-time reporting allows staff to track payments and verify inmates who are eligible for release

•     Lower operational costs in relation to inmate housing, medical care, meals, security and transportation

•     Improve staff efficiency

Trinity and Combined customers will benefit from the alliance by gaining additional features to their current technology. Upon approval by the Sheriff or Courts in each county, bond payment functionality will be added to the Trinity and Combined jail kiosks. In addition to cash bond payment through the kiosks, payments will be accepted online and over the phone.
