JailFunds by VendEngine

This correctional facility payment app puts commissary deposits, phone credits, bonding payments, and video visits in your pocket, 24/7 and from anywhere with internet access.

It takes less than 30 seconds to deposit funds.

JailFunds experience is the speed.

The app performs commissary deposits in less than 30 seconds, allowing you to either fund inmate bonding and monitoring payments or immediately add credits to prison phone account funding.

You won’t need to wait in line at the lobby anymore to worry if your check arrived in the mail.

The system links fast to the jail trust accounting systems of the facilities that use VendEngine/CorrectPay so funds get posted to inmate accounts immediately as a rule.

The app also enables specialized transactions in addition to basic commissary.

Processing bonding deposits and electronic monitoring payments for supported facilities in one place.

For families dealing with complicated court orders, or emergency situations, this centralized service is time efficient and less stressful.

Digital mail and messaging features complete the communication toolset.

You can send free electronic messages, photos and attachments to inmates in some jails with the MailRoom module.

People reply using in-facility VendEngine systems, creating a digital correspondence that is faster and less expensive than postal mail.

Some facilities can even allow gift sending, though it depends on the contract.

You can join video visits using your Android.

JailFunds is a complete remote jail visitation app. Easily schedule video visits directly in the interface and join your sessions from your Android device without needing to travel to the facility.

Distance is no longer a consideration for families who live out of town or parents who work.

The app also shows re-entry and community resources for families, linking them to health services, support networks and transition planning tools.

This makes JailFunds more than just a transactional platform; it is a support mechanism for prisoners and their networks.

Payments that are PCI-compliant and Secure, whenever you like.

Enterprise-grade security is hidden behind convenience.

Secure PCI compliant jail payments operate on an SSL-certified, cloud-based infrastructure that meets financial industry standards.

The system runs 24 hours for you – be it weekends, holidays or late nights, you won’t be locked out when you urgently need to transfer funds.

5 Easy Wins.

• Make deposits in under 30 seconds from anywhere with an internet connection.

• You can schedule and attend video visits without going to jail.

• Use our mailroom unit to send electronic mail, photographs, and messages.

• Bond, telephone, commissary, and monitoring payments may all be done in one application.

• Access community and reentry resources to support families long term.

The Trade-offs Matter Users always report technical faults while making payments and crashing.

Certain users have issues entering a sum correctly or a timeout.

Automated telephone support is viewed as difficult to use and error-prone.

Although transaction fees are charged, we do not include this in the app listing and they vary by jurisdiction, contract, etc.

Functionality largely depends on whether or not your facility uses VendEngine, as video visits, messaging, and even basic deposit features aren’t universal.

JailFunds, by VendEngine, offers valuable functionalities including instant deposits, remote visitation, and consolidated communications for families engaged in the corrections system.

The cloud-first design and PCI conformability lends institutional credibility.

Nonetheless, because of the reliability troubles and the facility-dependent features, your experience is going to be a lot different based on what jail you are supporting and whether the app is going to cooperate on any given day.
