INCREASE THE BENEFITS OF CHECK IMAGING BY IMPLEMENTING IMAGE EXCHANGE

By combining check imaging and image exchange, U.S. banks can save more than $2 billion annually, or about 30 percent of their check processing costs.  As a key component of Carreker's Exchange Suite, ExchgLink software offers financial institutions a comprehensive solution for exchanging images with other banks and their archive providers. Leveraging proven electronic check presentment (ECP) systems and processes, it provides a low risk migration path to a fully functional image exchange environment. ExchgLink works with Carreker's industry-leading ECP system, CheckLink®, to enable the secure exchange of images while preserving existing settlement and reconciliation between financial institutions. As an end-to-end solution, it interfaces to image capture, large table management and image-enabled back office applications, providing seamless integration throughout the item workflow.

ExchgLink offers flexible support of both internal archive and shared archive environments, and meets the image exchange systems requirements and operating standards recently defined by SVPCo, the bank-owned private sector payment system.

BENEFITS

  • Enables float and transportation cost savings
  • Mitigates risk through accelerated clearing and return notification
  • Integrates into existing workflows that support the bank's paper, ECP and image processing
  • Enables automated validation of image quality and data integrity
  • Supports both internal archive (exchange) and shared archive (interchange) environments
  • Leverages legacy ECP, image archive and downstream payment infrastructure investments
  • Allows banks to offer a wide range of new products and services to customers

OVERVIEW

  "We wanted a development partner who understands every step in that migration path and has been pioneering along that path for years. We and many of our prospective image exchange partners already use Carreker's ECP, capture, archive, fraud detection, and image-enabled back office solutions. That is why we chose them for this critical development effort."

Tightly integrated with CheckLink ECP software for data exchange, settlement, reconcilement, returns, and item matching and tracking, ExchgLink provides for rapid implementation of image exchange in an already proven environment.

With ExchgLink, banks can create and transfer files that support image exchange, and easily manage the transition to the anticipated exchange scenarios in pre- and post-Check 21 environments. This transition will require banks to support paper, ECP and image exchange workflows simultaneously. And, as industry image exchange models evolve, ExchgLink is designed to ultimately support paperless, image-on-demand exchange scenarios.
