Adoption of the new technology will streamline cheque processing while improving back-office efficiency across all 17 offices in the region.

After the installation of the new technology, it will deliver a complete end-to-end cheque capture, processing, and archive solution, while simplifying workflows, improving research capabilities and lowering processing costs.
