• Payor Database- enables our operators to locate missing account numbers by searching your customer database by the payor information to locate the proper account number.

• Change of Address- when your customer indicates a change of address, our system automatically captures the data of the new address and sends an electronic file back to you.

Data Archival and Reporting
You have the power to view your company's data and images. Our Internet lockbox portal consolidates your company's processing information across all payment products.

Full Page Recognition and Scanning- our integrated full page scanning and recognition allows us to process items up to 8.5" x 11" allowing efficient capture of additional information such as invoices, correspondence, envelopes and other documents for processing and/or archiving.

Accounts Receivable Conversion (ARC)- converts a one time remittance payment to an ACH Debit, which takes priority over paper checks, reduces paper handling, improves cash flow, improves funds availability, reduces float time, extends the deposit window and increases ability to forecast cash.
