– Company responds to increasing demand for apps on Android Market –
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 20, 2010. Bluepoint Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and innovator in remote deposit capture (RDC), image-based item processing and enterprise content management software technology for financial institutions, today announced from the BAI Retail Delivery Show and Expo, the availability of the industry’s first mobile remote deposit capture solution integrated into an application built for Android-powered smart phones. The company has configured its QwikDeposit ToGo application for the Android operating system in response to the growing demand and popularity of Android. The application is available for demonstration at Booth 714 during the Expo.
“With consumers trending more and more towards mobile devices for their banking needs and Android sales dominating the growth in smart phone operating systems, it is critical that financial institutions recognize the importance of Android and incorporate it into their self-service strategy,” said Chris Donner, CEO of Access Softek, a leading mobile banking provider. “We launched one of the first mobile banking application built for Android and are pleased to partner with Bluepoint for remote deposit capture.”
According to data released by research company, ComScore, Google’s Android operating system has the most momentum in the U.S. smart phone market. The data indicates that Android-based phones currently make up nine percent of the U.S. smart phone market, but have posted the fastest growth of any smart phone platform over the last six months.
Adds Bluepoint CEO, Hal Tilbury, “The explosive growth of the Android operating system and the Android Market, coupled with the popularity of Android phones on all major U.S. wireless networks demonstrates the immediate need for financial institutions to offer their customers mobile banking and remote deposit capture built for Android.”
Bluepoint’s QwikDeposit ToGo enables consumers to securely deposit checks with a camera-equipped smart phone, providing quicker availability of funds and added convenience. Account holders initiate mobile-banking sessions, key in their deposit amount and simply snap photos of both the front and back of the check with their smart phone cameras. The software captures the check, formats the image, automatically corrects any image distortions or skewing and confirms the images meet Check 21 and mobile image-quality standards. All transactions are transmitted with multiple layers of security and, if necessary, can be traced back to registered smart phones, marked with time and location, in order to combat fraud.
Bluepoint Solutions gives institutions the option of selecting an in-house version of QwikDeposit ToGo or they can take advantage of Bluepoint’s unique monthly use-fee delivery model. Additionally, institutions have the option to operate QwikDeposit ToGo within Bluepoint’s SAS70-certified data center, enabling small to mid-size institutions to compete with much larger, nation-wide banks without making a large financial investment. Also included with the solution from Bluepoint is a proprietary online Marketing Center that provides institutions immediate access to a repository of professional-quality marketing collateral including statement inserts, email campaigns and a variety of signage to build awareness and promote the new mobile deposit offering to the community.
Bluepoint Solutions and Access Softek Launch Integrated Mobile Banking, Capture Platform

–Industry leaders join forces to introduce robust mobile platform to community financial institutions–
VISTA, Calif. Sept. 16, 2010 Bluepoint Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and innovator in remote deposit capture (RDC), image-based item processing and enterprise content management (ECM) software technology for financial institutions, and Access Softek, a provider of home banking solutions for financial institutions, have partnered to offer community financial institutions a complete mobile banking application that seamlessly integrates mobile remote deposit capture capabilities. The integration of mobile banking and mobile remote deposit capture into a single application provides a more robust and user-friendly experience for the end-user.
Bluepoint’s mobile RDC platform, QwikDeposit To Go powered by Mitek Systems’ patented IMagePROVE technology, is now available as an integrated component of Access Softek’s proven Mobile Finance Manager, a downloadable online banking program that resides directly on a user’s smart phone. The integrated solution provides financial institutions with a sophisticated, complete mobile application that enables account holders to perform traditional banking services, as well as deposit checks, all from a single application on their mobile device.
“There is no denying the consumer demand for mobile banking services,” said Chris Doner, CEO of Access Softek. “The explosive growth of smart phones makes mobile remote deposit capture the next logical step for banks looking to offer a complete mobile application to account holders. Mobile banking users are primarily motivated by convenience. When an institution offers mobile deposit, it offers the most convenient deposit solution for its customers. This will inevitably result in getting a higher amount of deposits relative to institutions that do not offer mobile deposit. We have partnered with Bluepoint to extend our mobile banking application by integrating their best-of-breed mobile deposit technology. We are pleased to offer financial institutions a sophisticated mobile application that, until now, has been out-of-reach for most smaller institutions.”
Integrating mobile capture directly within a mobile banking application creates a more user-friendly experience, by allowing the accountholder to manage almost every banking function from the convenience of a mobile device. Industry analysts anticipate a high adoption rate for mobile remote deposit capture solutions, especially among current users of mobile banking applications. Juniper Research anticipates the number of people accessing banking services via mobile phones is set to increase to 816 million by 2011, a 10-fold increase since 2007. According to research conducted by research firm Mercatus, 59 percent of today’s mobile banking customers are likely to adopt mobile remote deposit capture if the technology is offered by their financial institution.
“Bluepoint has always been focused on bringing innovative technology solutions to financial institutions,” said Hal Tilbury, founder and CEO of Bluepoint Solutions. “Our most recent mobile RDC launch was met by incredible enthusiasm by small to mid-size institutions that understand that this technology will be important to current and future accountholders. We are looking forward to working with Access Softek to take this one step further, and launch one of the industry’s first complete mobile banking with check capture applications.”
