What is Remote Deposit Capture?

Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) revolutionizes check processing by allowing customers to deposit checks using their mobile devices or desktop scanners. Instead of visiting a bank branch, users simply photograph the front and back of their check and submit it electronically.

Our RDC solution uses advanced AI and machine learning to automatically detect check boundaries, enhance image quality, extract data from MICR lines, and verify authenticity all in under 2 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Remote Deposit Capture (RDC)?

Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) is a technology that allows customers to deposit checks electronically using a smartphone camera or desktop scanner, without visiting a bank branch. Chequedb's RDC solution captures check images, uses AI-powered OCR to extract all data (payee, amount, date, MICR line), runs fraud detection and signature verification, and processes the deposit all within seconds.

How does Chequedb's mobile RDC work?

The customer opens their banking app (or Chequedb's white-label app), selects 'Deposit a Check', enters the amount, and photographs the front and back of the check. Chequedb's AI automatically detects check edges, enhances image quality, reads the MICR line, extracts all relevant data via OCR, and runs fraud checks. The deposit is submitted securely and the customer receives real-time status updates through to clearing.

Is Chequedb's remote deposit capture secure?

Yes. Chequedb's RDC uses bank-grade security including AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, multi-factor authentication, device fingerprinting, jailbreak/root detection, and AI-powered fraud detection. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and PCI DSS Level 1 compliant. For maximum security, on-premise deployment keeps all processing within your own infrastructure.

What integration options are available for RDC?

Chequedb offers three integration options: native SDKs for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin/Java) to embed RDC into your existing mobile app; a check processing API for custom implementations and backend integrations; and a fully white-label mobile app branded with your institution's identity for those who want to launch quickly without building their own app. All options include sandbox environments, comprehensive documentation, and developer support.

How quickly are funds available with Chequedb RDC?

Checks deposited before the cut-off time (typically 4 PM) are processed for next-business-day clearing, matching industry standards. Chequedb's AI processes and validates each check in under 2 seconds, providing instant feedback on image quality and fraud risk. Real-time status updates keep customers informed at every stage from submission to clearing. Cut-off times and deposit limits are fully configurable to match your institution's policies.

What is the difference between RDC and mobile cheque deposit?

Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) is the underlying technology, while mobile check deposit is the customer-facing application of that technology via smartphone. Chequedb's RDC platform also supports desktop scanner-based deposits for businesses that process checks in batches. Both mobile and scanner-based RDC use the same AI processing pipeline for OCR, fraud detection, and signature verification.
