BankServ, the independent supplier of remote deposit processing services, is now offering its DepositNow! system for online bank deposits through Windows Vista Business and PASS (Payments as a Secure Service) Commerce Center.
Businesses that subscribe to the DepositNow service can scan checks using a desktop PC, then deposit them online without making going to the bank. A second version of the product, DepositNow A/R, also reads the handwritten dollar amount on a check, then automatically matches it to the correct customer and invoice in the popular QuickBooks or PeachTree accounting programs. A version of DepositNow A/R integrated with Microsoft’s Small Business Accounting system will also be introduced soon. Both versions of DepositNow will be available through Windows Vista via PASS Commerce Center.
“The fact that remote deposit was included in the Windows Vista launch shows that any business that receives checks could have a legitimate use for the service,” says Dave Kvederis, the CEO of BankServ. “People are beginning to realise how much time it saves — remote deposit can be as helpful to businesses as Direct Deposit was in the 1980s.”
