Inmate Banking Software
Stellar Services, LLC provides easy-to-use inmate banking software and commissary services for correctional facilities. Their inmate banking system, called Lockdown™, is given to facilities at no cost and helps staff manage inmate money from the time someone is booked until they are released. The system lets staff open and close accounts, handle commissary orders, bill inmates, and write checks, all from one simple screen. It is designed to be user-friendly, secure, and reliable, with individual logins and different access levels for staff. The software also includes clear reports and a quick “fix” button to correct mistakes easily. Commissary orders are carefully packed, clearly labeled, and delivered with a high accuracy rate, making the entire process smooth and efficient for jail staff.
Booking Money Manager
Stellar Services’ Booking Money Manager is a secure and simple way for correctional officers to deposit inmate funds during the booking process. Officers can add cash or checks directly into the system, keeping all money in one safe place instead of handling it separately. The machine uses high-quality, casino-grade bill and coin acceptors to prevent counterfeit money and is built with reliable parts for long-term use. For inmate release, Stellar Services also offers a free debit card option that makes giving inmates their money fast and easy. With just one click and a card swipe, funds are transferred automatically, eliminating the need to write checks or share sensitive banking information. The service costs the facility nothing, has no minimum balance, offers free everyday use, and includes strong security, while any card issues are handled by the bank, not the jail.
Stellar Teller Kiosk
The Stellar Teller is a self-service kiosk placed in a jail lobby that makes inmate deposits fast and easy while saving staff time. Friends and family can add money to an inmate’s account using cash or a credit/debit card, and the funds are available almost right away through the Lockdown™ system. The kiosk has a built-in camera that takes a photo before a deposit is accepted, which helps prevent fraud, and all card payments are encrypted and fully secure. Stellar Services builds the kiosk themselves using high-quality parts, so it is extremely reliable and rarely goes down. If there is ever an issue, their team can fix it quickly, often within the same day, since they know the system inside and out.
Inmate Credit Card Bonding
Stellar Services’ credit card bonding makes the booking and release process faster and safer for correctional facilities. Staff can accept bond payments by credit or debit card in just seconds, instead of waiting on cash or slow paperwork, which helps reduce overcrowding and stress in the booking area. The Lockdown™ system also lets inmates or their families use cards to pay fines, medical fees, or add money to commissary accounts, giving inmates better access to funds and reducing the need for free supplies. Payments are secure, fraud risk is handled by Stellar Services, and facilities have no liability. With kiosk bonding through the Stellar Teller, friends and family can quickly pay bonds using cash or cards, making the process easier for officers and speeding up inmate release.
