General Questions

What is Remote Deposit Capture and what do I need to get started?

Remote Deposit Capture allows businesses to capture checks at their business location, then transmit data and the check images electronically to their financial institution for posting and clearing, without any need for physical transportation. All that is needed is a PC, Internet connection and scanning device.

What prompted the creation of Remote Deposit Capture?

The foundation for Remote Deposit Capture was established as a direct result of the tragic events of 9/11. Much of the financial world experienced suspensions and delays, due to the lack of air transportation following the incident, which prompted the creation of Check 21.

Passed in October 2003 and implemented on October 28, 2004, this legislation made Remote Deposit Capture possible by allowing banks to create and send digital images of paper checks, instead of transporting the original check from bank to bank to complete the check clearing process.
