Check Fraud Prevention
I really enjoy gatherings like last month’s BAI Payments Connect Conference because they provide an opportunity to re-engage colleagues interested in new technologies around “the check”… now, where else can you find that???
This year’s event was especially gratifying because Orbograph used the occasion to launch the new OrboAnywhere™ solution…and they recorded my presentation to create a video!
In the interest of equal time – Checks? We love ’em!
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.

Money orders are often the worst offenders, but there are still many checks with poor dropout features.

Before “Multi-channel” become Omnichannel, the goal was to provide multiple ways to interact with a bank and your accounts. For quite a while, the ability to check balances and make deposits by any means other than walking into a bank lobby – using a web site, ATM machine, smart phone, etc. – was novelty enough.…
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…
We have to remember that Mobile RDC is still a relatively new type of technology. The technology has made waves in supporting financial institution’s customer acquisition strategies. As new services like mobile RDC are implemented, financial institutions run risk models trying to anticipate product profitability, security risk and fraud losses. RemoteDepositeCapture.com recently reported that the vast majority of financial institutions that have adopted mobile RDC technology in the last few years report few, if any, losses from the use of the technology.
