Benefits of converting paper checks into electronic checks:
• Reduced deposit preparation time. No special trips to the bank to deposit your paper checks. You make your deposit from virtually anywhere.
• Reduction of bank service charges. Because your deposits are electronic, you'll never pay another bank deposit fee or bank returned item fee.
• 24/7 Internet reporting lets you track and report on your electronic deposits from anywhere, anytime.
• No more waiting for out-of-town checks to clear, you now receive real funds within 48-72 hours, regardless of where the check was written.
• Easier tracking of returned items. And you will know of returned items within 48 hours of deposit, not 5-7 days as is often the case with paper checks. This benefit alone can be crucial to property management and mail order companies, as well as for retail business's who might otherwise continue to accept checks on an account that is insufficient or possibly closed or stolen.

How the Check Deposit Service Works
1. Using the supplied desktop imaging device, you capture the complete front and back image of each check. The MICR line - account number is also read and captured from the check.
2. The amount is automatically read from the check using LAR/CAR recognition artificial intelligence software. If the amount is not readable, you will be prompted to quickly enter the amount before submitting the item for deposit.
3. A comprehensive verification and validation process is performed to ensure the accuracy of items and to confirm the deposit before final submission.
4. A single key stoke then electronically transmits the deposited items (including images) to the bank for deposit.
5. Funds are then deposited into your account within 48-72 hours.
