Remote Deposit Capture: The “Perfect Storm” Redefining the Payments Industry

Presenter: John Leekley, Founder & CEO, RemoteDepositCapture.com

The enactment of the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (AKA “Check 21”) ushered in a new wave of possibilities for the payments industry. By far the most important development impacting the industry is Remote Deposit Capture (RDC). The combination of a supportive legal environment, sophisticated technologies, a massive and pervasive payment mechanism, unprecedented competition, and a solid business case for all parties involved has resulted in the “perfect storm” which is redefining the payments industry.

This opening General Session will:

• Introduce the structure and goals of the conference
• Provide an overview of the history and current state of the industry
• Discuss challenges and lessons learned
• Take a look at the reasons why (and how) banks and corporations are implementing RDC Solutions, with a specific focus upon the business case.
• Lead into the 2 breakout sessions and rest of conference

Breakout Session 1: The Corporate Value Proposition

Corporations have shown a strong interest in RDC solutions from their bank and technology providers - and all because of an undeniably positive business case. However, it is rare to hear of an implementation and solution which went exactly as planned. The road to Remote Deposit Capture can have many unexpected bumps, twists and turns and because of this many businesses are still taking a wait and see attitude. Or, is the issue with how the value proposition is being presented by the bank or processor?

This breakout session will address the following:

• Typical business case elements
• The business case of RDC 2.0
• Impacts from the Fed
• New clearing options
• Surprise / Hidden Costs
• Surprise / Hidden Benefits
• How RDC can help stay the course through the subprime woes

Planned Panelists Include:

• Jana Waughn, CEO, RemitPro
• Michael Starble, COO, Open Scan
• Jane Darga, Vice President, Comerica Bank
• Christy Horner, Manager of Remittance Processing, LabCorp

Whether developing an RDC solution to aggressively capture new clients, defensively hold on to your current clients, or simply to focus upon improving internal efficiencies, more than 70% of all banks are expected to have at least 1 component of an RDC Solution deployed by the end of 2008. But the value of RDC goes far beyond product revenues and expense reductions to include deposit growth, accelerated clearing and other capabilities.

This breakout session will address the following:

• Typical business case elements
• The business case of RDC 2.0
• Impacts from the Fed
• New clearing options
• Surprise / Hidden Costs
• Surprise / Hidden Benefits
• How RDC can help stay the course through the subprime woes

Planned Panelists Include:

• Toby Asplin, Customer & Product Strategy Officer, First National Bank of Omaha

1:15 – 2:30 Panel Discussion

Now that the business case is understood and a decision is made to implement an RDC solution, the real question is “How”? Whether you’re a corporate end-user, bank service provider or third-party solution provider, a successful implementation will be based on managing the expectations, strong project management, workflow and process definitions and integration into corporate and bank systems. Management of these components will determine your success and profitability. This panel session will identify best practices in RDC implementations, and detail experiences and lessons learned while implementing an RDC Solution.

This session will address the following:

• Identifying the right solutions for your organization

4:00 – 5:00 Panel Discussion

RDC is made possible only through using expanded image scanning technology and transmission capabilities. It is therefore critical that the “right” scanner is used. After all, RDC requires a complete transformation of the way deposits are made. The image is the deposit, and the scanner takes the image. This panel discussion will explore the often-overlooked importance of check scanners as a key element of an RDC solution.

This session will address the following:

• Check Scanners & Options on the market today & tomorrow
• How to select the right scanner for your organization – Price, Functionality, Quality, etc.

8:00 –9:30 General Session Panel – Managing Risks in an RDC Environment

According to the FBI, ABA, BAI, AFP and many other well respected organizations, the #1 financial fraud risk to banks and corporations is check fraud. Combine this inherently risk-prone process with new legislation and a new way to make deposits and you have a potentially toxic combination. While Remote Deposit Capture presents a clear value proposition for the entire industry, appropriate legal, regulatory and technological approaches must be implemented to address the risks inherent with Check Electronification.

This session will:

• Identify the Key Risks associated & possible with RDC
• Outline how appropriate legal, regulatory and technological actions can mitigate these risks
