Signature Verification

The Two-Up Signature Verification is designed to augment the initial exception processing, where the processed item is tagged for closed account, insufficient amount or account hold. The Two-Up Signature verification process allows creation of batches per amount.

As an example, select all items with amounts greater than $5,000 and select every third item less than $5,000. The batches are then queued to allow multiple users to view both item images along with signature cards. With a corporate account, the user is able to access all past authorization and signature cards. Based on comparison of the item signature and the signature on file, the operator can tag suspected items and email both items and associated signature images to the account home branch for final approval of signature rejection. The archived images of items are tagged as rejected and a transaction list is provided to update the back office system.

Remote Capture

POH's Remote Capture software increases efficiency and reduces bank costs by eliminating the daily need for physical transport of items from a bank branch to the central processing location. Remote Capture allows the branch to provide digital images of all items that are normally sent to item processors for check truncation and fraud detection.

With today's availability of secure broadband connections, sophisticated character recognition and less expensive hardware, Remote Capture is a reality.

The benefits of utilizing Remote Capture:

• Decreases the need for evening staffing and courier services.
• Reduces errors discovered at the item processor level, because each branch balances their own work, saving time in correcting identified errors.
• Eliminates the risk of losing the physical check before it is truncated.
• Faster clearing with no physical cutoff time, allowing the branch to provide service virtually anytime.
• The check scanner has a small footprint so it does not require much physical space.
• Eliminates the need for microfilming.
• Remote Capture can be deployed as Branch Capture or Teller Capture.

The following itemizes the available functions of Remote Capture:

• Processed items are automatically batched into On-Us and Transit items. The On-Us items will be automatically truncated and its images updated with digital insertion of the amount
• Transit items will require a second pass to encode the amount. After Check 21 implementation, the amount will be automatically inserted digitally on the substitute check or Image Replacement Document (IRD).
• The Transit items can be interfaced with a third-party processor, correspondence bank or clearing services such as ACIX™.
• Over 80 percent amount recognition, with manual override capability by the operator.
• The transaction report allows balancing at the batch level.
• Custom delivery of posting files to meet the financial institution's back office system
  • This customization will include account number, transaction type substitution and insertion of float records.
• Custom delivery of reformatted images per the financial institution's archive system.
• Online availability of processed images.
• Customizable sort patterns.
• Allows branch, teller or remote commercial implementation.
• All functions can be secured by group such as tellers, back office, administrator or individual user.
• The security module supports the notion of allowing only one individual to execute one function.
• Allows the export of transaction detail in fixed length or comma limited record.

The Remote Capture software supports a wide range of transports from Canon to Unisys NDP300. Remote Capture device standards are ISIS, Panini, API, or Ranger.

Virtual Print Services (VPS)

POH Integrated Solutions Virtual Print Services (VPS) allow an organization to add value and/or customize the output of existing software applications that cannot be enhanced or changed, either because they are shrink-wrapped packages or because they are legacy applications that are no longer supported.

For example, one VPS implementation currently takes payroll data printed to a file from applications such as SAP, Lawson, USG, ProBiz, etc., and does the following:

• Creates check/EFT data from the raw output file.
• Transforms check/EFT data to XEROX ready print files.
• Prints the checks and EFTs on high speed XEROX printers at one of 32 print centers around the country.
• Mails the checks and EFTs back to the employer, or directly to the employees.
• Posts the checks and EFTs to the Web for viewing by both the employer and the employees.

Benefits and Functions of VPS:

• Existing software packages do not have to be changed. VPS can take output from the applications "as is".
• Output can be modified for better readability and/or combined with other sources. For example, coupons or marketing information contained in a separate database can be combined with the output of a legacy banking system to create added value banking statements.
• CASS & NCOA processing can also be applied to the output stream.
• Subsequent output can be e-mailed, faxed, archived to CD/DVD, or posted to the Web. In addition, printing on high speed printers is an option, as well as mail fulfillment.
