MaestroSoft, Inc. announced today that it has released for general use "qCheck," a revolutionary payment processing system designed for non-profit organizations, schools, hospitals, museums and other organizations hosting fundraising events. Through a partnership forged between MaestroSoft, Inc. and IATS, a Ticketmaster company, charities will be able to have a very simple to use, cost effective and reliable means of quickly processing their event revenue, year-round contributions, and on-line payment processing through one simple system.

"The qCheck offering is going to revolutionize payment processing in the non-profit event space," said Jay Fiske, President of MaestroSoft. "Our clients have been asking for simplicity, security of credit card numbers, elimination of complex training, removal of restrictions on the types of credit cards accepted, elimination of rental charges and other surprises when dealing with getting their event revenues processed. With the integration of the IATS system and our industry leading auction management software, AuctionMaestro Pro, we have succeeded in meeting those objectives."

"Working with IATS has been phenomenal. They know how to get things done, get it done right the first time, and then they are able to support their system with a process that has been in use for many years. We merely needed to adapt and adopt what they already had as a proven payment system," noted Kenneth Kleve, Vice President of Operations for MaestroSoft.

The qCheck system simplifies what is traditionally a complex process. With qCheck all 5 major credit cards are accepted not only the typical VISA and Master Card varieties. "The best part is the client can either 'swipe' a card to read it as they would do at an event, or just type in the card numbers as they would do while accepting a donation or RSVP on the telephone, and still pay the same, low blended rate. It just couldn't be simpler for our clients," added Kleve. To make it even easier, MaestroSoft currently supplies the "swipers" as part of the service at no additional cost.

qCheck is available immediately for all existing and new MaestroSoft clients. Users of AuctionMaestro Pro will also benefit from having the customer numbers generated by the IATS system automatically synchronized with the corresponding bidder number assigned to the event guest. This allows for a speedy check out, virtually eliminating any cashiering line at the end of an event. New service can be established in less than a week.
