What hasn’t already been said about the acceleration of mobile deposit capture in the payment sector? Low cost acquiring devices in conjunction with advanced remote deposit capture (RDC) features will be the catalyst in changing consumer behavior and is already reshaping the prepaid landscape as we know it. As card companies move their focus from traditional competitors and adopt “check to card” cash conversion strategies, our years of development in this technology had positioned us as the perfect enabler for the convergence of mobile, remote deposit and check cashing and our position was no accident. CPI has been an RDC and payments innovator in the check cashing industry for years. We have designed and implemented numerous industry specific features and functions that most have not yet experienced but can be found within many of our established relationships.
Over five years of in-house remote deposit development experience and 3 years at an integrated level with CHEXAR Networks, Inc. offers a tremendous edge to our clients. No where else can an instant guarantee and delayed deposit be settled through a single API and no other platform provides the dual deposit across mobile, ATM, and retail capture points. The most successful prepaid programs going forward will depend on how well remote deposit capture, guarantee and mobile are integrated and executed. Is there really any other DEPOSITCHOICE™?
