Next-generation technology will enable FirstCorp's member credit unions to quickly and accurately convert paper checks into digitized, legal financial instruments. FirstCorp's clients gain quicker access to funds, realize significant cost savings and achieve heightened check-processing accuracy.

Lake St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) June 11, 2007 -- Diversified Check Solutions, a leading provider of end-to-end, Check 21-compliant processing systems, has partnered with Phoenix, Arizona-based FirstCorp Corporate Credit Union to provide the ACHeck21™ product suite to FirstCorp's member credit unions. FirstCorp is a corporate credit union that provides to 70 credit unions -- located in four Western states -- a wide range of services that include depository services, lending and back-end operational support.

Diversified's ACHeck21 product suite will enable FirstCorp's members to deploy an intelligent ACH web-based remote capture solution. This product provides a fast, efficient and convenient way to convert check payments into ACH transactions through the use of a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) reader and easy-to-use software. It maintains the full use and functionality of FirstCorp's APEX-ACH system. It is designed for any organization -- large or small -- that seeks to quickly and accurately convert paper checks into digital financial instruments and incorporate that process into an accounting system.

ACHeck21 represents the first true "end-to-end solution" in financial services technology industry. The technology is extremely versatile, allowing customers to easily verify discrepancies between checks and stubs, update accounts receivable systems, manage returns, archive checks and data and mine the data captured. Additionally, the ACHeck21 graphical user interface (GUI), is extremely easy to use, eliminating the need for organizations to train staff on a new complicated system.

"We are very pleased to be able to offer a first-to-market solution to FirstCorp's member credit unions," said Sam Ackley, managing partner of Diversified Check Solutions.

"With ACHeck21, any organization that accepts checks can differentiate themselves in the marketplace by having a more efficient back-office system that converts checks into funds. At Diversified, we have developed solutions that manage every step of the process -- from accepting and scanning checks to converting them into digital financial instruments to making bank deposits to integrating all of that into an accounting system," Ackley said. "Customers will use our technology to gain access to their funds more rapidly, plus they will have more tools for managing and maximizing the efficiency of their accounting systems."

ACHeck21 is ideal for banks, credit unions, merchants, utilities, local governments, non-profit agencies and small businesses -- anyone who accepts checks for payment. With ACHeck21 technology -- fully compliant with the Fed's Check 21 regulations -- these organizations can create digital files for automatic transfer into their bank account.
