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

With its recent launch, DeposZip is considered among the first commercially available service of its kind to allow consumers and small businesses to electronically scan checks from their home or office and send them to their bank or credit union for collection. 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.

Designed as a "thin" client application and appropriate for a variety of end users, Alan Bernstein, EasCorp's senior vice president, marketing & strategic planning, describes the program as "flexible and scalable."
