Image Statement™

Carreker’s Image Statement solution digitizes paper documents into electronic images that are reproduced as part of a customer’s monthly statement. The image can consist of the entire check or selected portions of the check, such as payee and memo field information. Image Statement consists of software and hardware components that capture, quality assure, scale, format and print document images.

By converting the majority of existing check return customers to an image statement option, a bank can significantly reduce postage expenses and reduce maintenance, labor, exception processing, hand-filed statement and statement rendering costs. And by providing bank customers with pricing options for monthly statements, new streams of revenue are created while more clearly associating product fees with processing expenses.

BANK BENEFITS

  • Revenue Generation:  Image Statement gives the opportunity to price statement offerings based on the expense associated with the offering.
  • Postage Reduction:  Image Statement replaces checks in monthly statements with digitize images of those checks. Anywhere from 10 to 42 check images can be reproduced on a single image attachment page, significantly reducing the weight and associated postage.
  • Reduced Sorter Labor and Maintenance:  By eliminating the need to fine sort the image statement items, a bank greatly reduces the number of times documents are handled. This reduction in item “passes” reduces both sorter usage charges and sorter labor costs.
  • Reduced Statement Exception Processing:  With a reduction in document handling, exception processing of rejected items is also reduced.
  • Reduced Hand Filed Statements:  Most accounts now requiring hand filing can be processed in an automated fashion, virtually eliminating the expense associated with manual processing.
  • Improved Statement Rendering:  Statement rendering equipment will operate 3 to 4 times faster. And with the ability to print advertising insertion information directly onto the statement, the need for insertions is reduced.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

  • Higher Quality Statements:  Image processing enables a bank to provide convenient, comprehensive, high quality statements to customers. Also, the image enabled process of reconciling exception accounts can virtually eliminate the problem of sending out incomplete or inaccurate statements.
  • Personalized Statements:  Image Statement can be personalized by account number, statement cycle or product type to provide customers with a wide range of individual options including scaling size, variable statement text, image orientation and pinpoint marketing information.
  • Easy Balancing of Statements:  By providing high quality images of checks on attachment pages, the process of balancing monthly statements and storing the statements for later use is simplified. Image “snippets” of the date, check number, pay-to line and customer signature allow a customer to view all the critical balancing information for their statement on a single image attachment page.
  • Easy Filing of Monthly Statements:  Monthly statements that include check images can be easily filed and stored in a three-ring binder with dividers separating the different monthly statements. Managing and filing hundreds of checks during the course of the year is no longer required. Attractive, convenient notebooks replace shoeboxes and filing cabinets, reducing the time and effort required to reference checks at a later time.
