INDEPENDENT BANK OF TEXAS ANNOUNCES REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE SERVICE FOR COMMERCIAL CLIENTS

(Irving, Texas) – Independent Bank of Texas (IBT) announces today the general release of Remote Deposit Capture service for commercial clients. Remote Deposit Capture is a service that allows commercial clients to make electronic check deposits from their office instead of driving to the bank. This service provides extended cutoff times and a 24 hour a day / 7 day a week submission window.

In discussing remote deposit and the advantages for IBT customers, Brad Durham the CEO of IBT explains it is a true win-win opportunity for everyone. “IBT is one of only a few banks in the Dallas / Forth Worth area that has the system actually running,” noted Durham. “Many banks our size and major national banks are talking about remote deposit capture but only a few actually have customers using the technology. We feel we are on the forefront with this technology and are excited to offer this service to our clients. Our commercial clients have seen the benefits in the Remote Deposit Capture process. We are looking forward to many of our commercial clients taking advantage of this service in the following months.”

IBT Remote Deposit Capture is a check processing solution that allows a business customer to make deposits electronically by utilizing a desktop scanner connected to their PC and the Internet. Once checks that are to be deposited are scanned, images of the checks are electronically transmitted for deposit directly to IBT. This deposit solution dramatically reduces the amount of time spent preparing and delivering deposits and gives the business more time to spend on growing their business.
