A system and method for performing Electronic Check Presentment (ECP)
processing. The system and method employ digital imaging techniques to
digitally image the physical checks as they arrive subsequent to posting
of the ECP items. The images are electronically linked to the data
records that represent the checks. During the proofing process, in which
the data records for the ECP items are validated against the data records
for the physical items, the records are updated such that the posting
date and ISN number for the data records for the physical items reflect
the posting date and ISN number of the ECP items. As the digital image of
the check is electronically linked to the data records, the image is thus
carries the posting date and ISN of the ECP item.
