Branch Capture

The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) went into effect October 28, 2004, enabling financial institutions to scan, image and convert share drafts into an electronic file.  The goal of this legislation is to increase efficiency and eliminate much of the risk associated with moving billions of share drafts daily.  The electronic file is transmitted for collection instead of the physical check. It also provides for creating a new instrument called a substitute check. When a substitute check is created that meets specific criteria, it becomes the legal negotiable replacement instrument for the original check.  Once fully implemented, Check 21 will significantly change our members deposit processing allowing for a more expedient and less costly solution. 

Committed to helping members fully maximize the opportunities that Check 21 will provide, VACORP partnered with Palmetto Cooperative Services, Inc. to provide a branch capture solution that leverages the power of ‘least cost routing’, providing the most cost-efficient method of collection. This comprehensive turnkey solution provides the best of breed approach to a financial institution’s image capture needs.  Utilizing Palmetto’s existing relationships, members will also have access to Canon scanners and maintenance, along with VSoft Corporation’s eDesk Capture software.
