Remote Check Capture for Online Banking

February 8th, 2008  |  Published in Local Economics, Strategic Planning

Plan Resonate isn’t what you’d call a high transaction business. There are few transactions and gladly many of them occur via direct deposit. When there are checks to process, it’s not always convenient to walk or bike over the bank and drop them in an envelope.

So I’m mildly interested [not quite excited? not indifferent to? care barely enough to link to?] this press release from CheckFree Corp. (via SFGate.com).

Customers want to be able to deposit checks without having to go to banks, and banks want to be able to offer that”, said Rod Springhetti, CheckFree’s vice president of global strategic marketing.

This innovation may likely be the last encouragement I need to leave my old school bank in favor of someone who emphasizes online services. Unfortunately I expect that my present bank will try to charge for this service, if and when they adopt it, despite the fact that they’d be reducing costs by shifting another operational process (scanning checks) onto me.
