NEW YORK — EasCorp's new remote consumer deposit capture service, DeposZip, has been integrated with A2iA Corporation's A2iA CheckReader, a set of tools that locates and reads key transactional information from paper checks and arbitrary document images.

This new technology partnership enables EasCorp's clients to leverage A2iA CheckReader for extracting key fields from paper checks, which in turn enables the processing of checks from anywhere that a desktop scanner is available, according to A2iA.

“What's exciting is that it opens a world of opportunities for us to retain members who move away, students who go off to college or local businesses that want the convenience of making deposits from their own shops,” said Mark Emerson, executive vice president/COO of Sharon Credit Union, one of the first credit unions to launch the system.

According to A2iA, the consumer logs on to their account as they would to complete any online-banking activity and then selects a new option called “Make a Deposit.” From here, the user is redirected to EasCorp, follows instructions there, and scans the check on a desktop scanner. A2iA CheckReader then performs courtesy and legal amount recognition, MICR codeline recognition, image quality and image usability testing.
