Remote Capture Solutions

International Image Capture

C&A staff members have the knowledge and experience to implement remote capture in any environment.  Branches and customers can capture documents in remote location and forward them to the central site for consolidated processing.  Some C&A customers are capturing checks in foreign countries and forwarding them electronically for deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank or another correspondent bank in the United States eliminating transportation costs and improving availability by as much as 3 days.  Our staff has been working with remote capture solutions since 1979, and the new capture devices available today provide a cost efficient alternative to processing paper checks and documents.

Contact us to see how remote capture can reduce expenses and streamline your institution's operation.
 

 Check 21

C&A Customers Now Sending Image Cash Letters

C&A customers are taking full advantage of Check 21.  Hundreds of financial institutions using C&A software are sending electronic image cash letters to either the Federal Reserve Bank or other correspondent banks.  This makes us one of the leading vendors of Check 21 compliant software in the industry today.  The first C&A customer to begin sending cash letters has been using the Federal Reserve Bank's FedForwardsm service since March of 2005.  Since that time, a number of financial institutions have capitalized on the benefits of the Check 21 environment, and more C&A customers are converting each week.  These institutions are experiencing substantial cost savings from reduced courier costs, better utilization of personnel, reduced insurance expenses, and improved funds availability.  Like many of our customers, these banks have been receiving COF image files and allowing the Federal Reserve Bank to truncate the actual checks in the incoming cash letters for several years.  As a result, the bank reduced the volume of checks being processed on their sorter by 50% or more.

Now, C&A customers have the added benefit of processing the outgoing cash letter electronically.  This results in a big reduction in the volume of paper checks being handled by the bank.  In fact, some institutions have been able to replace expensive, high maintenance cost capture devices with smaller machines resulting in substantial immediate cost savings.  With extensive validation of the outgoing cash letter items, the Check 21 implementation has resulted in a minimum amount of errors and adjustments.
