Digital Check to Present Findings on Image Quality Costs at BAI Payments Connect ConferenceDigital Check Corp., a manufacturer of check scanners and other equipment and software for the banking industry, will discuss the effects of problem images - which cost banks millions of dollars annually in the clearing and settlement process - at the BAI (News - Alert) Payments Connect conference next week in Phoenix. Tom Jordan, Digital Check's Director of Software Solutions, will join U.S. Bank's VP of Compliance and Processing, Keith Powers, in the session titled "Check Imaging - The Multimillion Dollar Problem." In a 2014 white paper, Digital Check explored the cost of difficult-to-scan documents in the banking industry, and discovered that minor errors caused by issues from bad handwriting to background printing affect 3-4 billion checks and money orders per year in the United States. Another small subset of less than 0.1% of checks cause major problems that result in nearly half of all clearing costs for some banks. Jordan and Powers will discuss the real-world implications of image quality on financial institutions' operations, as well as new image-enhancement technology and busiess practices that can mitigate its impact on a bank's bottom line. The session takes place from 9:45-10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 4. For more information, visit the BAI website.
