HERNDON, Va. -- January 22, 2003 -- CheckAGAINSM, a prominent check management services leader, announced that Movie Gallery (Nasdaq: MOVI), the nations third largest video specialty retailer, has chosen it to provide comprehensive check management services to its stores nationwide. CheckAGAINs services have helped the retailer increase check recovery rates and reduce bank processing fees in an initial pilot program. As a result of a successful 110-store pilot program, Movie Gallery has started using CheckAGAINs check services in all of its stores in the United States.
Its a fact that CheckAGAIN helps retailers like Movie Gallery recover money faster," said Tim Robinson, president, CheckAGAIN. Weve been able to easily integrate our technology into Movie Gallerys infrastructure and, as a result, streamlined their check recovery process."
