Carreker Offers Customized Check 21 Readiness Program

Dallas-based Carreker Corporation is offering a customized Check 21 Readiness Program for financial institutions and payment processors.

The program, already underway with selected banks, is designed to help participants realize their Check 21-related opportunities and minimize their risks. The program begins with an on-site workshop with specialized modules on operations, products, customer service, risk management, and lines of business.

The workshop is intended to help banks gauge their readiness and identify the areas of greatest risk, competitive opportunity, and operational need. The workshop leads to development of a strategic plan for Check 21 initiatives, and the program culminates with the execution of the plan in "good" time for Check 21.

The program, a service of Carreker's new Global Payments Consulting division, is being delivered by its top consultants in operations, imaging, technology, and fraud mitigation (Ann Cain, Carreker, 972-371-1748, acain@carreker.com).
