Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

Systems and methods for remote deposit of checks

A digital camera processing system with software to manage taking photos with a digital camera. Camera software controls the digital camera. A downloaded software component controls the digital camera software and causes a handheld mobile device to perform operations. The operations may include instructing a user to have the digital camera take photos of a check; displaying an instruction on a display of the handheld mobile device to assist the user in having the digital camera take the photos; or assisting the user as to an orientation for taking the photos with the digital camera. The digital camera processing system may generate a log file including a bi-tonal image formatted as a TIFF image.

Techniques are provided for addressing possible fraud and mistake scenarios in a system for electronically receiving check images from customers and for automatically initiating a deposit of funds into a customer account. An electronic analysis of a check may be conducted to retrieve a check identifier that may be compared against a limited number of previously deposited checks, allowing for faster real-time comparisons. The deposit may be soft-post of regardless whether it is flagged as a potential duplicate, because subsequent more thorough analysis may uncover false positives. Also, transaction and account information can be analyzed to determine if there is a possibility of a check kiting operation.

Systems and methods for check representment prevention

Verification of remotely deposited checks may be conducted in a system or for electronically receiving check images from customers and automatically initiating a deposit of funds associated with such check. Verification may comprise analyzing an image to detecting a presence of signatures, e.g. a payor signature and an endorsement, on a received check image so as to validate a check. Verification may further comprise conducting 'face recognition' of a received check image to verify it's authenticity and/or detecting MICR line indications that a check is no longer valid.
