Using Remote Deposit Capture Technology Improves Cash Flow and Office Productivity
 
Now you can deposit checks without leaving your office. With e.service® Deposit RCTM, our remote deposit capture solution, you simply scan paper checks and approve a deposit right from your desktop. The scanner captures an image of each check and all pertinent data including the payment amount. Vanco then seamlessly converts the approved information into an electronic format for secure transmission and deposit into your bank account. Checks deposited by this exciting method never have to be endorsed on the back, physically presented at the bank or returned to the check writer. During the scanning process, checks are automatically marked to indicate that they have been electronically deposited. In addition, an easy-to-access image of each check is automatically archived in Vanco's secure online Service Center for any future reference. All you need to get started is a computer with Internet access and the check scanner that we ship to you.

Benefits   
 
Remote deposit capture offers a number of benefits to your organization, including the following:
 
Accelerates Clearings
Remote deposit capture speeds up the processing of checks by eliminating the need to physically transport them to the bank. In addition, by enabling your organization to make more frequent deposits, you'll have funds in your bank account sooner.
 
Reduces Transportation Costs and Risk
If your organization currently takes checks to the bank for deposit or uses a courier service, you will enjoy reduced mileage and service expense as well as a reduction in the risk associated with physically transporting checks. While a few items may still need to be deposited in person, the vast majority can be deposited via remote deposit capture.
 
Improves Cash Flow
Accelerated check clearing combined with reduced transportation and processing costs result in improved cash flow for your organization.
 
Frees Up Staff Time
Vanco's remote deposit capture eliminates labor-intensive tasks such as preparing deposit slips, endorsing checks and driving to the bank. And because this solution utilizes technology that recognizes the dollar amount on most checks, there is no need to manually enter this information. Simply review the scanned information before approving the deposit.
 
Notifies You of Potential Problems Sooner
Checks drawn on accounts with non-sufficient funds and deposited by conventional methods would normally be returned after several days. These checks are now identified sooner allowing you to address potential problems on a more timely basis.
 
Reduces Photocopying Costs and Filing Space Needs
Remote deposit capture automatically archives an easy-to-access digital copy of every check you scan eliminating the need for you to make photocopies of electronically deposited checks.
 
Simplifies Check Processing
Vanco provides all the tools you need to get started, including a high quality scanner and over-the-phone training. And since remote deposit capture is web based, you won't need software or expensive IT resources to use it. You'll love this new way of processing checks!
Remote deposit capture has different names depending on how the service is used.  It may be referred to as "Check 21", "Check Conversion", "Corporate Capture", "Merchant Capture", "Image Deposits", "Image Cash Letters", etc.
 
Remote deposit capture reduces time and resources needed to process checks, resulting in continued cost savings to your organization.
 
Researchers project that almost 20 percent of all businesses and organizations will be using remote deposit capture by the end of 2010.
How It Works   
 
1.      Collect
  Your organization continues to receive and gather checks exactly as it does now.
 
2. Prepare for Deposit
  Your organization feeds checks through the easy-to-use scanner that Vanco provides. The scanner captures an image of each check and attempts to recognize the dollar amount. If the dollar amount is recognized, it appears automatically on the screen. If not, the screen prompts you to manually enter the correct amount.
 
3. Review and Approve
  After all your checks have been scanned, make sure all the dollar amounts match up before approving the deposit. A list of all scanned checks to be approved will appear.
 
4. Confirm
  Vanco generates a deposit report confirming the total amount to be deposited into your organization's account.
Electronic processing reduces the burden on our nation's transportation systems and the environment.  It takes a considerable amount of fuel to ship our country's millions of checks each year between companies, financial institutions and customers.
