Fast & Secure Check Imaging Solutions
When speed and security matter, our merchant account solutions deliver seamless check imaging for maximum efficiency. Whether at the point of sale or through a separate imaging process, we provide flexible options to suit your business needs:
Point of Purchase (POP)
Checks are converted into electronic transactions at the point of sale using a check imager. Once digitally archived, the physical check is voided and returned to the customer.
Accounts Receivable Conversion (ARC)
Ideal for check-present but customer-absent transactions, commonly used for receivable payments.
Cash Office Imaging (COI)
Checks are processed and authorized using existing MICR check readers at the point of sale, while imaging is completed separately in the back office with a high-speed batch imager.
Outsourced Imaging
Similar to COI, but imaging is performed at a centralized location or a Merit Pay site rather than in-house.
With these advanced check imaging solutions, you can streamline operations, enhance security, and maintain accurate records with ease.
