8:00 – 8:45 AM General Session: Remote Deposit Capture: More important now than ever.

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

The financial crisis gripping the nation and the world has created an unprecedented focus upon the importance for banks to retain and grow deposits. Similarly, businesses are pressured to cut costs and accelerate cash flow. Now just over four years old, Remote Deposit Capture is increasingly attractive to an ever-expanding market, is demonstrating proven results and, especially in times like these, is more important now than ever.

This opening General Session will:

  • Provide an overview of the history and current state of the industry
  • Discuss Opportunities, Risks, Challenges and Lessons Learned
  • Take a look at the reasons why (and how) banks and corporations are implementing RDC Solutions.
  • Introduce the structure and goals of the conference
  • Lead into the 3 breakout sessions and rest of conference

9:00 - 10:00 AM: Concurrent Session 1: Implementation Challenges, Best Practices & Lessons Learned

Whether you're a corporate end-user, bank service provider or third-party solution provider, a successful implementation requires managing the expectations, strong project management, workflow and process definitions and integration into corporate and bank systems. Successful management of these components can have lasting impacts upon program profitability. This panel session will identify best practices in RDC implementations, and detail experiences and lessons learned while implementing an RDC Solution.

Specific focus will be placed upon what is expected of the FI; training, reporting and integration, risk planning and mitigation, check safekeeping, availability, equipment sourcing and servicing, backup and disaster recovery planning and customer selection and management.

This breakout session will address the following:

  • Case studies & best practices
  • How to scale to increase the number of deployments
  • What should be included in an implementation kit
  • How to minimize the risk at the customer location

Merchant & Retail RDC presents unique challenges and opportunities, especially when implemented at the Point of Sale (POS). Cashiers might accept any number of forms of payments; credit cards, debit cards, cash as well as checks. The capture of the check as a payment type for clearing is therefore only one component of the business case for the retailer or merchant. The other components of RDC at the POS include; Check Guarantee or validation, footprint of the hardware, customer wait time at the cashier and finally, cost. What are the business requirements for a complete solution?

This breakout session will address the following:

  • The components of a retail RDC application
  • A review of the capture components in POP, BOC and in a Check 21 model
  • Examples of packaged solutions for both ACH and Check 21 capture and clearing
  • Benefits and drawbacks of each solution
  • Developments & Options for Cash Handling.

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 2009. But the value of RDC goes far beyond product revenues and expense reductions to include deposit growth, accelerated clearing and other capabilities.

*Special Take-Away: FISERV will provide a White Paper detailing their research on financial impact of RDC.

This session will address the following:

  • Typical business case elements
  • Industry Pricing Trends
  • Surprise / Hidden Costs & Benefits
  • Ways to increase profitability and minimize risk

One of the greatest challenges in deploying Remote Deposit Capture lies in the deployment of the scanner. Several decisions must be made regarding purchasing / leasing / rental options, inventory, delivery, setup and more. Learn the options, best practices and more from industry-leading solution providers.

This breakout session will address the following:

  • Challenges and Pitfalls in scanner deployment
  • Deployment & Fulfillment options
  • Lessons Learned
  • Best Practices in Scanner Fulfillment

Explore the reality of Branch Image Capture and the reasons why to do it, or not to do it. And, if you are going to image enable at the branch should it be at the Teller window or is it more effective to do it the back counter. This session will cover the issues associated with branch image capture as well as the reasons why some banks are choosing not to image enable their branches or at least some of their branches.

This session will:

  • Benefits of Branch image capture
  • Establishing realistic objectives: Teller Capture and/or Back Counter
  • Leveraging the technology to maximize benefits and meet cost savings objectives for both large and small financial institutions.
  • Obtain valuable insight to better plan for future branch capture projects

While understanding the ways in which RDC can provide value for a business seems fairly straightforward, quantifying that value proves much more challenging. For many businesses, RDC provides much more value than initially thought. For others, value proves to be more elusive.

  • Typical business case elements
  • New clearing options
  • Surprise / Hidden Costs & Benefits
  • Creating value beyond expense reductions: Productivity & Financial Engineering

This session will:

In order for any financial institution to rollout RDC in any volume, customer service and support must be prepared, and efficient.

This breakout session will address the following:

  • Most Prevalent Customer Service & Support Issues
  • Service & Support options
  • Lessons Learned & Best Practices
  • Ways to leverage technology to provide superior service

Despite the hype, the number of RDC locations in operation has fallen well short of most industry estimates over the past 18 months. The slow rollout is not a result of poor demand, but apparently a lack of urgency among the financial industry as a whole. This has provided a window of opportunity of Independent Sales Organizations and third-party solution providers – and they're taking advantage of the opportunity.

This breakout session will address the following:

  • Definitions, process flows
  • The opportunity for ISOs and 3rd-party solution providers
  • The threat of bank disintermediation

Remote deposit capture is a convenient and efficient way to deposit checks and is becoming a critical component of an integrated payments platform. Banks and corporations are now leveraging RDC for capturing payments made by checks as well as card transactions with coupon or invoice remittances. Corporations are depending more and more on RDC for updating of billing and accounting systems with information extracted during the RDC process. At the same time corporations are evaluating ISO 20022 Financial Services - Universal financial industry message schemes for electronic payments via ACH and SWIFT. In such a dynamic environment, how can an organization ensure it has a technology platform that can continue to be relevant for years to come? This session will provide insight into evolving payment technologies and standards, demands from the market, and a roadmap outlining the future of RDC technology and capabilities.

This breakout session will address the following:

  • RDC is about the payment, not just the check
  • Best practices from engagements around the industry

This concurrent session will address the following:

  • Identify the risks associated with RDC.
  • Outline the Technical & Procedural tools available to mitigate the risks.
