PLANO, Texas – Southwest Corporate is hooking up with Viewpointe, an image firm backed by the country's biggest banks, to facilitate image exchange. Viewpointe is owned by mega banks Bank of America, Wells Fargo, SunTrust, U.S. Bancorp and J.P. Morgan Chase. These banks represent tremendous check volume and when they are ready for image exchange, full-blown image exchange will be poised to take off. Back in September of last year, the five banks set an 18-month deadline for exchanging all common items among the banks. Southwest is hoping to benefit from the volume Viewpointe will bring. "The relationship with Viewpointe greatly enhances our access to the industry. We wanted to provide our members the full advantage of our image technology investments as quickly as possible," said Jody Beck, interim CEO and senior vice president for Southwest.
