Americana Community Bank Introduces Deposit Advantage

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 16, 2007 – Americana Community Bank today introduced Deposit Advantage, a remote check deposit service that is changing the way many businesses bank.

A deposit service that allows businesses to deposit checks electronically, Deposit Advantage can reduce the number of routine trips you and your staff make to the bank, freeing your time and speeding up transactions. Increasingly used by businessmen and women, this new, high-tech route to the bank creates greater efficiency while saving time and money and keeping your business focused on its customers.

A remote check deposit service offers many advantages, including the following:

•   Easy set-up
With minimal training and set-up, you can deposit customer and vendor check payments whenever and wherever you choose – be it your office, retail store or at the comfort of your kitchen table. Most systems simply require an Internet-connected PC and a check scanner. Rather than heading to the bank at the end of a long day, merely feed the check into a desktop scanning device, and in a matter of seconds, a digital image of the check is created and ready to send via the Internet to your main banking account.

•   Convenience and improved cash flow
Say goodbye to “desk float,” that time when your valuable deposits sit idly on your desk. Sooner, rather than later, you need your customer or vendor checks securely deposited, credited to your account and working for your company. Remote check deposit allows you to accelerate the availability of funds, helping you make the important business decisions your company demands, everyday.

•   Cost savings
Remote check deposit also offers considerable cost savings – from reducing account maintenance and miscellaneous fees to eliminating expensive courier runs. Employees also benefit from the savings. In addition to spending less time preparing deposits (photocopying before deposits is no longer necessary), employees will experience fewer headaches due to the ease of data searches, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy.

•   Secure deposits
Equipped with an encrypted Internet connection, remote check deposit is a more secure method to deposit checks from your desktop to your banking account. This technology-driven service also reduces employees’ risks of robbery, compromise or traffic accidents while transporting deposits to the bank.

As a result of Deposit Advantage, one of your most critical business processes now has the capability of becoming more accelerated and more convenient.
