First Tennessee Bank Partners with WAUSAU Financial Systems for Remote Deposit Capture
Mosinee, WI (PRWEB) June 24, 2014 -- First Tennessee Bank, under First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN), selected WAUSAU Financial Systems, the provider of best-of-breed financial technology, services and solutions, to provide remote deposit capture (RDC) services. The solution, Deposit 24/7, is expected to go live in July with Risk Monitoring including Location Awareness, which aids with compliance by identifying where RDC deposits are captured and transmitted.
First Tennessee Bank, a recognized pioneer in RDC, was in search of a partner to meet the bank’s ever-changing RDC needs and the needs of its customers. This includes:
- Improved risk monitoring functionality to meet regulatory and compliance requirements;
- More RDC functionality, including payment capture, accounts receivable system integrations and export features;
- The ability to offer more options for scanners and drivers while simplifying the scanner licensing process; and,
- Solution training and support for the bank’s RDC customers.
“We needed a solution that would help us remain compliant with recent FFIEC and AML mandates,” said Karen Doyle, senior vice president and senior product manager, Treasury Management Services. “Location Awareness will help us stay ahead of the curve in terms of regulations thanks to its RDC tracking functionality. This was an important factor in the partner decision process.”
Location Awareness provides the ability to track IP addresses to identify where RDC deposits are captured and transmitted. WAUSAU Financial Systems’ Location Awareness alerts financial institutions if deposits are made outside the expected transmitted location, providing greater visibility to potential fraudulent activities.
“First Tennessee Bank prides itself on maintaining a high customer retention rate, which speaks to our positive customer satisfaction rating. To ensure satisfaction, we recognize the importance of the customer experience,” said Taylor Vaughan, director of Treasury Management Services at First Tennessee Bank. “It’s our hope that through a more flexible RDC offering and robust implementation and training courses offered by WAUSAU, our customers, too, will be pleased with this partnership.”
WAUSAU’s Deposit 24/7 Suite, complete with risk monitoring functionality, is a comprehensive solution that includes merchant, consumer, branch and mobile deposit capture points. The RDC solution allows convenient and secure check deposit, saving time and cost while streamlining processes.
“At WAUSAU, we value leadership, not just internally but also in our customers,” said Gary Cawthorne, CEO, WAUSAU Financial Systems. “We’re proud to partner with an RDC leader and pioneer like First Tennessee Bank, a financial institution with deep roots in RDC. We look forward to the evolution of this partnership and our work together to ensure First Tennessee Bank and WAUSAU deliver what customers want and need.”
