Check 21 Solution

expresscheck21 is a hybrid, "patent pending" web-based ARC / Check 21 solution that processes   and deposits all types of paper items into electronic transactions or substitute checks, better known as IRD, all through a single point of entry system. expresscheck21 is designed for retailers and businesses to accept both consumer and non-consumer checks so they can be processed in the back-office.

With expresscheck21 you can continue to accept your customer's paper check payments, either at your business location or via the U.S. mail. You can then electronically process and deposit checks without having to go to your bank. Simply scan, process and deposit all types of paper items at your business location using a check scanner. Captured images and data are then transmitted for clearing and electronically deposited into your bank account.

It‘s simple. Everything is done in your business environment, no bank visits or deposit slips. All you need is internet access, one of our desktop scanners, and a personal computer. Run the checks through the scanner and watch each paper check convert into an electronic image, and automatically into an electronic deposit. Our technology seamlessly captures and populates accurate check images and MICR data information into the data fields, alleviating manual data entry work for you.
