Bank Up receives remittances (checks and coupons), converts images to data, reconciles transactions, deposits funds to customers’ deposit accounts, electronically updates customers’ accounts receivable, and provides secure searchable online images of remittance documents. Bank Up also provides eLockbox services, which intercept paper checks sent by bill payment services. Bank Up serves mid-sized and smaller customers receiving 3,000 – 200,000 checks per month.
