To use the E-Deposit service, all a customer needs is a personal computer (with Windows 2000 or XP) and an Internet connection (hi-speed preferred). Central Bank will provide the scanner(s).
 
Q & A
  • Will I need to install any software to use the E-Deposit service?
    • Because the E-Deposit application is entirely web-based, customer do not need to install any software other than the software driver for the scanner. As updates are applied to the application, they are immediately available to customers without installing any software.
  • Is there anything I need to do with the original checks after I have scanned them?
    • It is up to the customer on how they want to handle the original copies of the scanned checks. Because of new banking regulations, Central Bank can process checks with the Federal Reserve by just submitting the images. Under certain circumstances, Central Bank may request the original check if the scanned copy is unreadable or there is a dispute over the check's authenticity. The Bank recommends the original copies of the checks should be held for a minimum of 60 days prior to disposal. The checks should not be disposed of without shredding or other similar method due to the nonpublic information contained on the checks.
  • What is CAR/LAR?
    • CAR/LAR (Courtesy Amount Recognition/Legal Amount Recognition) provides an automated method to capture the dollar amount of the check and dramatically improve processing rates and accuracy. For example, when a check is normally scanned without CAR/LAR the only information read by the scanner is the account number, check number, and routing number. With CAR/LAR approximately 70-90% of the hand written amounts on the checks are also scanned. The remaining "unread" items are sent to the customer's computer screen to correct. This feature became available in September of 2007 and is offered free of charge to all E-Deposit customers.
  • How secure is E-Deposit when submitting the digital checks to the Bank?
    • The E-Deposit service is hosted on a secure (128-bit encrypted) website; and the site uses a dual-authentication process during login called Passmark. Because all information is transmitted to the Bank through the secure website, customers using the E-Deposit service can rest assured their information is protected.
