Fiserv unveils new mobile phone banking app
Published August 25, 2010 - BizTimes Daily
Fiserv Inc. today announced the launch of Mobile Source Capture, a new remote deposit capture solution that extends the convenience of remote check capture to camera-equipped mobile phones.
Mobile Source Capture leverages best of breed Mobile Deposit technologies from Mitek Systems Inc.
The new technology is a downloadable application for camera-equipped smartphones that allows users to securely take a picture of the front and back of a check and deposit the item electronically, without ever having to visit a branch, an ATM, the office or home. Users of Mobile Source Capture can deposit a check instantly from wherever they are to the financial institution for processing, clearing, settlement and posting. Mobile Source Capture is being initially targeted at clients seeking a customized or stand-alone solution, typically large financial institutions, or any institution with a strong focus on leading the mobile revolution.
The solution will be integrated with Fiserv account processing solutions with specific integration announcements in 2010 and in 2011.
Fiserv has been conducting customer pilot trials for mobile deposit capture since 2009. Based on feedback from those pilots, Fiserv expanded the product to include multi-item deposit capability, single sign-on authentication, and a virtual endorsement feature (the ability to place a virtual stamp on the back of the image). Fiserv also built in robust risk mitigation capabilities that allow for item validation to occur during capture. Fiserv offers enterprise-wide duplicate detection and a near real-time Deposit Review feature which allow quicker feedback to the phone user while ensuring the deposit is valid before it enters the deposit cycle.
"The cool factor of depositing a check by taking a picture of it with your cell phone just can't be denied," said Gary Brand, director of Source Capture Solutions at Brookfield-based Fiserv. "These days, consumers want to be able to bank whenever and wherever they want - especially Gen Y consumers, who are tech-savvy. Financial institutions that offer mobile deposit capture will provide their customers with a new and convenient way to make deposits any time, day or night, without ever stepping foot in a branch. Technology that can allow customers to bank the way they want increases customer satisfaction and can attract new customers."
