Check 21: Harnessing a Billion Points of Light Report Highlights: 1. Check processors that experience declining volumes will find it difficult to properly invest in Check 21 enhancements, making a selection of Check 21 processing partners a critical issue. 2. Check conversion provides greater benefits than check imaging and is growing at more than 800%. To manage costs paying banks must address the challenges they have with conversion and drive consumer adoption. 3. Image validation and data accuracy solutions are critical to fraud control and cost containment but these technologies are unproven at the volumes being anticipated. 4. For every million checks imaged, 6,210 to 66,800 are defects and a large component of these errors are checks assigned to the wrong account. Reconverting banks must address the ramifications of these errors given the warranties Check 21 legislation implements. 5. International outsourcing can be applied at low cost and low risk to reduce check errors and fraud rates. - 2004-05-24
