2021 FinTech Shopping Guide

​Shopping can be the hardest part of the holiday season. It seems that finding that perfect gift for a loved one can be the only type of shopping on your mind. As the end of the year approaches though, you may have shopping for the technology in your bank or credit union branches on your mind as well. With Benchmark’s #solutionseason, shopping for fintech has never been easier.

With 2021 in sight, it's essential to update your banking technology and look to the future. With Benchmark’s #SolutionSeason, we have developed this easy fintech shopping guide taking you through all the fintech necessities for this season and next. 

Check Scanner
Number one on our fintech shopping guide is the tried and true check scanner. Benchmark is proud to partner with domestic and international partners to get you the best check scanners possible. Selecting the perfect check scanner for your bank or credit union can be like shopping for the holidays: overwhelming. Benchmark has friendly knowledgeable consultants who can match you with a check scanner that meets your needs. Differentiating features like single feed vs. auto-feed or deciding if a stackable check scanners is right for you can often be deciding attributes. Even if you are not purchasing new or refurbished check scanners, monitoring your check scanner health is an important part of keeping these fintech devices operating at their best. Repairs, upgrades and installations are great options for revamping your check scanner fleet for 2021.

Teller Printer
This fintech shopping guide would not be complete without teller printers. Teller printers continue to be a valuable device in banking. Setting up your bank or credit union with the correct printer helps both tellers and customers. There can be challenges when discovering your needs for a teller printer. Benchmark consultants make it easy to detail your exact needs and provide you with a quality, long lasting teller printer. Teller printers can be used to optimize transactions, organize teller desk space and minimize operational lag. Like check scanners, buying new does not have to be your only option to getting your teller printer ready for 2021. Benchmark offers refurbished devices, repairs for your existing devices and upgrades and installations to make sure your bank or credit union is stepping into 2021 prepared for success.

With admin features and custom reporting, TraxIT helps your bank or credit union save time and keeps your end-users happy. Even though we are including TraxIT on our shopping guide, it’s important to note that TraxIT is a free service we provide to banks and credit unions.
