System and method for check processing

摘要

A system and method for check processing is provided wherein a mailed check is received at a mail processing location, converted to electronic form, and electronically sent to the bank of first deposit. The mailed physical checks may be repackaged in envelopes and forwarded to the bank of first deposit. Because mailed checks are converted to electronic form at the mail processing facility, the delay before a bank of first deposit receives the check may be reduced.
