What were the top five payment trends according to BAI’s 2015 Payments Connect Publication?
Our friends at RemoteDepositCapture.com completed a new poll on mobile RDC and found that among those participating in their survey, 28% put the value of mobile remote deposit capture (mRDC) at up to $1.00 per transaction, and just 3% said using mRDC is of no value to them.
The vision of P2P payments is like a dream for mobile app vendors and bank executives who love digital payments. Let’s say you want to give or pay money to a friend, relative, or even small business. I recently went through this exercise several times.
And guess what? To my surprise, the best option was still a check!
We’ve been talking about the Omnichannel quite a bit, both in the OrboNation blogs and around the Orbograph offices. It’s an important topic for financial institutions and retailers alike.
The OrboNation Blog is back! Why the slight “vacation,” you ask? Well, we’ve been busy with new staffing (James Bi, our Marketing Coordinator has done a dynamite job on trade shows and campaigns), new product priorities (healthcare payments going wild), along with new check processing innovations (full release of OrboAnywhere), just to name a few. So,…
In an era where “checks were away”, who would believe there are still 18B per year remaining. Luckily for financial institutions and the payments industry, we have an organization who providers leadership around checks; instituting rules which facilitate better, faster and more fair payments! Thank you ECCHO. The list of accomplishments is impressive. Check out…
ABA Tool Looks Useful for Finding Routing Numbers for Consumers, but Will It be Helpful for Bankers?
The new American Bankers Association tool for finding routing numbers could be very helpful for consumers looking for routing numbers (also referred to as routing and transit/R&T). “Routing numbers are only issued to federal and state chartered financial institutions that are eligible to maintain an account at a Federal Reserve Bank. Accuity is responsible for the assignment…
Orbograph business partners did well in the annual FinTech Rankings of technology vendors (FinTech Forward) to the financial services industry conducted by BAI and American Banker. The study identifies the forces and trends that are motivating banks’ technology investment and ranks the top 100 companies along with their revenue generated from financial services.
Does a 7.3% boost in earnings give you any indication of how the banking industry is doing holistically? The increase in earnings was mainly due to a $7.8 billion (4.8%) increase in net operating revenue (the sum of net interest income and total non-interest income), the biggest since the fourth quarter of 2009. The good news is that almost two-thirds of the 6,589 insured institutions reporting (62.9%) had year-over-year growth in quarterly earnings.
There was a great article written on the Institute of Financial Operations site called “5 reasons you should not manage OCR software internally”. The concepts and challenges for end-users to fully manage their recognition environment applies to all industries. We’ve seen how even in check processing, banks are underachieving in their check processing environments by 10%, 20% and even 30%, leaving large chunks of automation “on the table” for their employees to manage. The end result is higher labor costs, additional overhead to run the systems and negative client experience due to additional errors.
