First
National Bank & Trust ImageCentre Check and Wholesale
Remittance Imaging Solution
Browser-based solution
to
provide an advanced platform for payment processing, image
exchange and fraud detection capabilities
Kokomo,
In and Jacksonville,
Fla. – (November 16, 2004) –
First
National Bank & Trust and the Fidelity Information Services
(“Fidelity”) division of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF),
a Fortune 500 provider of products and outsourced services and solutions
to financial institutions and the real estate industry, have announced
the signing of an agreement for ImageCentre™
check imaging, wholesale remittance imaging, and other payment
processing solutions.
Headquartered
in Kokomo, IN, First National Bank & Trust is a subsidiary of Hasten
Bancshares and is one of Indiana’s largest privately held banks. First
National Bank & Trust serves communities throughout central Indiana
and offers a complete suite of retail, commercial, trust, and other
banking services.
The
ImageCentre suite provides financial institutions with a complete
browser-based payment processing and document management solution. The
ImageCentre Wholesale Remittance module automates the capture of checks,
stubs, invoices and letter and legal size documents into an integrated
customer transaction. Once captured, a bank’s customer can access
information from a web-based front end for research, report retrieval
and to download files to accounting packages. BankWare, a provider of
check imaging solutions, developed the ImageCentre suite of products and
was acquired by Fidelity Information Services in April 2004.
“We
are excited about the partnership with BankWare,” said Terry Runyon,
First National Bank & Trust’s Item Processing Manager. “We are
confident that the ImageCentre solution will be responsive to technology
needs today and in the future. ImageCentre's integrated solution
provides a suite of products that meet market demands, while protecting
our clients’ best interest. ImageCentre's browser-based solution
empowers us to take full advantage of image technology—helping us to
promote superior customer service.”
“The
suite’s integrated capabilities go beyond streamlining processing,”
said Bob Darty, group executive for the BankWare division of Fidelity
Information Services. “First National Bank & Trust and other
progressive financial institutions will find that ImageCentre also
improves transaction integrity, eliminates capture passes and expenses
on imaging equipment, and enables earlier fraud detection to reduce
potential losses.”
