Working with Image Cash Letters

The 2023 edition of this white paper is for anyone contemplating working with or implementing a system that will process Image Cash Letters (ICLs), AKA X9.37 files, and would like to reduce their implementation costs, time, and ongoing maintenance efforts.

 

Best Practices for Check Image Capture Without Traditional Check Scanners

The use of non-traditional image capture devices such as smartphones and desktop scanners in check image capture as individuals and businesses embrace the convenience and efficiency of remote deposit capture.

The images captured by these devices can vary immensely in quality and often contain artifacts or characteristics that make it difficult to extract necessary data and to convert these images into the correct format for the electronic check clearing system. This paper provides guidelines to avoid poor quality check images and to ensure the best end user experience.
