FORUM POWER SESSION

Remote Deposit Capture: Trends, Opportunities & Threats

Keith Theisen, Senior Vice President, Wells Fargo Bank

Remote Deposit Capture has been one of the fastest growing cash management tools ever introduced to the payments industry. Now successfully deployed in most large banks, an increasing number of smaller financial institutions, third-party providers and a growing number of businesses are seriously considering implementing Remote Deposit Capture. What is on the horizon for this technology as it reaches toward maturity? This session examined the opportunities and challenges, what is in store for the next generation of Remote Deposit Capture, and what it means to the growth of check electronification at the point of capture.

Successful Remote Deposit Capture Deployment at National City Bank

Danne Buchanan, CEO, NetDeposit

Mary Ann Francis, Sr. Vice President, National City Bank

A successful Remote Deposit Capture solution deployment involves more than just adding a check scanner to an existing check processing mechanism. Successful Remote Deposit Capture deployments involve understanding how the product works within the existing system to provide effective and efficient solutions that drive quantifiable financial results. This session discussed how Remote Deposit Capture can improve processes by understanding the ways in which the technology, the banking partner and the organization can stream line deposit, accounts receivable, remittance functions and cash management.

The Economies of Back Office Conversion

NACHA's newly implemented Back Office Conversion (BOC) rules have
the potential to dramatically change the check payments landscape. What
do these rules mean for your company? Which factors do you need to consider when deciding if BOC is right for you? Speakers offered specific benchmarks of BOC in the areas of reduced bank fees, increased funds availability, and increased speed of return items.

Implementing Back Office Conversion

Kathy Levin, Senior Vice President, GACHA

Elizabeth O'Donnell, Dillard's

Back Office Conversion (BOC) was introduced in March 2006 and enables retailers and billers to convert payments received at the point of sale or manned bill payment locations to ACH entries in a controlled, back-office environment. What will the impact be to each of the ACH participants? How does it compare with other check conversion solutions?  This session provided a review of the requirements of Back Office Conversion from a rules perspective, as well as discussed implementation and operational considerations.

Banking Industry Roundtable Discussion

Embedded Remote Keying the Wave of the Future?

Offshore Keying for Small to Mid-Tier Customer

Roni Boker, Key-Pay® Convene™ Product Manager, Orbograph

Fred Campos, Vice President, RemitPlus™, AudioTel Corporation

Widespread use of image processing along with internet connectivity has allowed the largest remittance and lockbox processors to reap the benefits of offshore data keying and correction. NOW, that same functionality has created a strong foothold in merchant capture for smaller processors in managing load-levels.

This session broke down the pros and cons for deploying an affordable, on-demand, remote keying solution in the merchant capture and mid-tier remittance market by implementing the perfect solution for peak periods.

Back Office Conversion Workflows: Evaluating the Models

Kristine Oberg, VP Product Development & Group Manager, US Bank

Tom Kettell, VP, Marketing, RDM Corporation

NACHA’s Back-Office Conversion eliminates many of the operational barriers that have prevented retailers and billers with walk-in payments from taking full advantage of check conversion for over-the-counter transactions. Is BOC as simple as taking the checks and running them through a scanner in the backroom? It can be. But there are more deposit processing scenarios to be considered. This session covered some of the workflows in play in the marketplace, examined benefits of each, and helped evaluate which model may make sense for your organization. Returned item considerations were also addressed.
