TIS MOBILE BANKING SOLUTIONS
The new mobile banking solutions are part of TIS's successful eFLOW Banking Platform -- a unique solution designed to address the specific needs of local and global banks. Any information entering the bank, whether paper based or digital, in the front or back office is processed, understood, classified and delivered fully automated through the business processing chain with minimal errors.
For over a decade, TIS has been solving the real life challenges that come with MRC, with the many satisfied customers serving as a testament to effectiveness of TIS and its solutions. TIS MRC solutions are able to overcome all of the most pressing digital content management issues facing banks today, including: processing for wrong image orientation, skewed documents, dark shadows, document compression and conversion to enable automation or straight through processing.
The eFLOW Banking Platform handles all the heavy lifting, in the background, and without the involvement of the bank or its customers. For example, a customer can capture the upside down image of a check from anywhere – even in places with low ambient lighting – simply hit the "Send" from a smart phone, and know that the data will be sent securely and will readable by the bank. Behind the scene, TIS's eFLOW Banking Platform is capturing the image, rotating it, "cleaning" shadows and automatically adjusting contrast; it then extracts the check's MICR line, compares the amount, verifies the signature, and reads the account number and balance before sending it on to bank's system for clearing.
