About Monytek

The development of Monytek Human Services, Inc., (located in Beaverton, Oregon and Pendleton, Oregon) was founded in 1997 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. At that time there was limited access for debt-bound individuals to gain relief from their burden except by filing bankruptcy. There was a large, unfulfilled need for financial counseling among the population in Idaho and the United States. The local economy, as well as the nation, was forcing many honest and sincere families into difficult financial situations. With Oregon having the highest unemployment rate in the nation, it was obvious people were going into debt faster and faster. Shirley and Dean decided to move the company to Oregon where their parents still lived. While in Idaho Falls, Monytek gained status with the Social Security Administration to become a Representative Payee to serve the public who received Social Security benefits (monthly income from Social Security). These people are typically elderly, Veterans, mentally-handicapped, physically-handicapped, children, etc. These people all needed assistance in handling their income to pay their bills (rent, cable, phone, garbage, etc).


Shirley and Dean Harrison started the foundation. Shirley is a trained and certified financial consultant for Financial Freedom Centers and holds a certificate for NIFCE (National Institute for Financial Counseling Education). Her ability in dealing with people, recognizing their individual needs, and negotiating successful agreements have played an important part in the direction Monytek. has taken. Dean’s dedication and desire to follow all necessary rules and regulations pertaining to the business keeps Monytek in perfect financial shape. Dean is responsible for all licensing, bonding, and financial affairs for Monytek.

Monytek started in a one room office, sharing counseling by Shirley, and bill paying by Dean. There was a short time when bills for clients were paid from their kitchen table, but very rapidly the clientelle grew faster than they could write! After one year, they moved to an office with a separate counseling office, new computers, hired personal, bought office furniture and continued to assist people from surrounding areas to become debt-free. Every year they moved to a new and larger office, hiring more people, buying more equipment, and helping people throughout the state. New counselors were trained to assist with the volume of new inquiries.


Monytek has continued to grow and has had to change with the industry. Because of their unique style of negotiating and assisting clients with their financial difficulties, their processing center is one of the best in the nation, always striving for new and better ways to assist clients and creditors.


Monytek has helped thousands of clients reach their goal of being able to a financial stress-free life. They have the highest possible standards that a Representative Payee can have.

Monytek has a strong commitment to assist clients by providing simple financial education to every client. This has proven to be a tremendous help to ensure clients do not fall into the pitfalls of financial stress all over again.
