AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The cost and time associated with processing and depositing paper checks manually decreases productivity and financial expenditures and labor spending levels.

However, their banking options are limited, which give users less power to get things done without the need of going to a branch or visiting an ATM machine, when they'd rather spend lunch eating, and spend their weekends at home with the family and loved ones.

Although electronic financial transactions are commonly operated and maintained by giving the average banker power over their money, both businesses and individual banking customers / clients have limited power due to the limited online banking options available to the online banking user.

In a survey conducted by International Data Corporation (IDC), 42% of users found processing transactions in the online banking world not very useful, or user friendly.

Banks and financial institutions ultimately destroy banking / financial relationships because the customer is limited to the online banking transactions he or she can accomplish, due to a lack of diversified banking solutions and limited web-based solutions offered to the user in a “user friendly” atmosphere-one of the many harvests (or fruits) brought to the world are new, innovative technological advancements and evolutions are going from non-dial up options, to cable modem options, to broadband, to wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) options to expand user Internet capabilities.

Multiple deposit (ie. fraudulent activity) of the same check (without prior written consent by check owner for payment schedule authorization) should be an extremely difficult task or execution.

In relation to the security industry, difficult task, meaning the cost and time consumption of surpassing or defeating the system would extend far past the benefit.
