​Modern customers have ever evolving demands based on comfort and ease. Banks and credit unions can have a hard time competing with the convenience of online banking. However, your bank or credit union can transform your branch into a future-oriented success driven institution. Prioritizing convenience, your bank or credit union could offer services outside of the branch to help compete with modern offerings. One offering that continues to rise in popularity is remote deposit capture or RDC. RDC programs have been transformative for branches by attracting new customers, keeping current customers happy and bringing their bank or credit union into the future. 

​Efficient banking attracts customers and creates more growth opportunities. However, discovering strategies to optimize in your bank or credit union can be difficult.

​All Remote Deposit Capture, RDC, programs across all banks and credit unions have one thing in common, check scanners. However, how your bank or credit union approaches check scanner technology could be a critical element in the success of your RDC program. Keeping check scanners current with the latest updates on your core software or a new equipment installation could improve user experiences, save your IT department time, and could grow your RDC program. 

​From your personal technology to banking technology, getting the best from your device depends on how you use it. Optimizing your banking technology is all about matching features with use. Banks and credit union can achieve higher ROIs on check scanners or teller printers simply by implementing the right technology in the right environment. With teller capture or remote deposit capture (RDC), often times matching environment to scanner can be difficult. This article in our Check Scanner Guide Series will shed some light on how to best assign device to environment. However, Benchmark wants you to always have all of the information to make your decision so please reach out to our team to help find the best check scanner for your needs.
