BB&T launches RDC for low-check-volume businesses

Thursday, September 30, 2010 — 16:26:03 (EDT)

Winston-Salem, N.C., Sept. 30, 2010 -- BB&T announced today the addition of a new remote deposit solution specifically designed for low-check-volume business clients.

BB&T's OnSite Deposit Low Volume offers the same benefits as its other remote deposit solutions, but it is packaged to cost effectively meet the needs of clients who deposit less than 200 checks per month and eliminates the expense of purchasing a scanner.

Like BB&T's full suite of remote deposit service offerings, OnSite Deposit Low Volume allows businesses to make deposits using their computer and Internet connection until 7 p.m. ET on bank business days for same-day credit. It also provides access to two years of deposit activity and deposited check images. The service package includes an easy-to-install and use scanner and scanner maintenance. If questions arise, clients can obtain assistance through the live online chat support and e-mail between 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. ET.

Creative Payment Solutions Inc. (CPS), a BB&T subsidiary, developed the service in response to client feedback. "This solution allows BB&T to serve all clients, regardless of check volume. The ease of installation and use enables clients to begin using the service the same day they receive their scanner," said Jean Voorhis, Treasury Services senior product manager. "Equally important is the extended support hours, since many businesses may not be able to process a deposit until after traditional workday hours."

BB&T's full suite of remote deposit offerings also include OnSite Deposit, OnSite Deposit Package and OnSite Deposit Image Cash Letter. Information can be found online at www.bbt.com/onsitedeposit .
