A system that includes computer hardware, computer software, apparatus,
and methodology that enables individuals, businesses, and all types of
organizations (both for profit and non-profit) to capture and securely
transmit check images (including, but not limited to, personal checks,
business checks, travelers checks, money orders, merchant coupons, food
coupons, line of credit checks, etc.), deposit information, and other
information from remote locations (i.e., locations that could include the
financial institution's remote locations, other financial institution's
locations, businesses, private residences, etc.), for the purpose of
having those checks credited to the depositing individual's or
organization's bank account(s) and having the check images (and/or
physical checks) entered into the bank check clearing channels for
ultimate delivery to the maker bank for payment out of the maker's
account.
