The Banker's Exchange Teams With Availia to Raise the Bar in Remote Deposit Capture
The release of the new CheckNique™ check imager opens the door for widespread adoption of merchant capture.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- The Banker's Exchange and Availia announced today the availability of the CheckNique™ check imager. The product announcement came at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. The CheckNique™ scanner delivers a unique combination of functionality, reliability and price point to the rapidly growing Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) market that will allow financial institutions more options than ever before as they look to develop their RDC rollout strategies.
Following The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act of 2004, popularly known as Check 21, the banking community has moved aggressively to develop strategies for deployment of RDC solutions. Studies indicate that 20 percent of the market today has implemented some level of RDC, and an additional 45 percent have plans to do so with in the next year. Clearly RDC is emerging as a cornerstone in bank's strategies to strengthen their relationships with their business customers.
Yet, for all the buzz being generated in this space, and the rush to adopt strategies, actual deployment statistics indicate that few financial institutions are fully leveraging the potential of RDC across a broad range of their business customers.
"While many banks have made progress with their largest customers, today's technology makes it difficult to extend the solution to the much larger numbers of small and mid sized customers" says Jim Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of The Banker's Exchange. "While price is clearly an issue with the smaller customers, reliability, fulfillment services and support are also crucial in this customer segment, perhaps even more so than with the larger customers. The CheckNique™, with its rich feature set, image quality and reliability will change the game in the RDC space and allow for much larger scale adoption of the technology. This will create significant value for financial institutions and the small and mid sized merchants."
The partnership between The Banker's Exchange and Availia brings together two market-leading companies with broad experience in the check processing and banking equipment markets. "We believe that Availia has leapfrogged the market with the CheckNique™ device", says Wilson. "Their product development and manufacturing capabilities are second to none, and they have an incredible lineup of new innovations in the development pipeline"
"We view The Banker's Exchange as a clear leader in the financial equipment industry, and believe they provide the perfect combination of marketing skill and service capability to complement our technology," says Howard Royar, Chief Operating Officer of Availia. "RDC is a great opportunity for the financial community today. Our partnership will enable banks to implement true win-win strategies with a broad segment of their business customers."
The CheckNique™ check imager offers a rich set of functionality, including single pass color scanning, auto thickness adjustment, MICR capture and digital endorsement. It delivers image quality that surpasses scanners twice its price point, and superior reliability. It will be offered with standard depot service warranty and the Priority Exchange advance unit replacement program.
