A2iA CheckReader™ Integrated Into Account Reconciliation And Deposit Verification Software To Combat Bank Payment Fraud

A2iA CheckReader and Chesapeake's T-Recs Enterprise intelligently process check-images on a robust reconciliation platform to close one of the biggest loopholes in payment fraud.

A2iA (Artificial Intelligence and Image Analysis), a leading provider of tools for document analysis and handwritten data extraction, announced recently that its comprehensive check-processing toolkit, A2iA CheckReader™, has been integrated into Chesapeake System Solutions, Inc.®'s Total Reconciliation Solution (T-Recs®) Enterprise, an account reconciliation and deposit verification software. A2iA CheckReader's advanced image analysis and intelligent recognition engines enable software applications to capture handwritten and machine printed information from all areas of a check or related payment document. Together with T-Recs Enterprise, this integrated solution provides Chesapeake's customers with advanced bank account reconciliation and positive pay functionality, combating bank payment fraud.

T-Recs Enterprise offers banks a robust, scalable, service-oriented architecture, which can integrate seamlessly with existing back-office systems. The solution delivers its advanced functionality in a server environment, lowering operational costs and facilitating innovation in the delivery of high- profile, fee-generating cash management services. T-Recs Enterprise's browser client makes it simple to offer Web-based services to corporate customers and allows banks to do so at a fraction of the cost. T-Recs Enterprise delivers standard (next day and same day), payee, ACH, wire, teller and reverse positive pay services with image integration for initial scrubbing and customer pay/no-pay decisions.

"Intelligently processing check images on a robust reconciliation platform offers an opportunity to close one of the biggest loopholes in payment fraud. A2iA CheckReader offers an unparalleled solution to this complex problem, while T-Recs Enterprise is by far the most advanced reconciliation system on the market today," said John Snyder, Chesapeake's Director of Business Development. "Bringing together these two solutions yields the perfect technology combination. Banks implementing this system will be able to provide their corporate customers some truly unique services."

Chesapeake's T-Recs Enterprise is available as a licensed software offering, a hosted solution, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution and an outsourced service.

"Positive pay is a topic gaining more attention in the industry today, especially as attempts at fraud become more sophisticated.
