Abstract:
1. A method for a dual source bank float, comprising: determining, by a financial institution, which of a plurality of checks deposited at the financial institution will be processed via a paper route and which of the plurality of checks will be processed via an image route; determining an image set of rules to be applied to the checks processed via the image route, wherein the image set of rules comprises an image operational float file generated by an image operational float file builder, wherein the image operational float file builder uses image sort pattern data and a first set of business rules are used to generate the image operational float file builder; processing at least one of the plurality of checks via the image route; determining a paper set of rules to be applied to the checks processed via the paper route, wherein the paper set of rules comprises a paper operational float file generated by a paper operational float file builder, wherein the paper operational float file builder uses paper sort pattern data and a second set of business rules are used to generate the image operational float file builder; processing at least one of the plurality of checks via the paper route; assigning, via a computing device processor, a bank float to the checks processed via the image route using the image set of rules; assigning, via a computing device processor, a bank float to the checks processed via the paper route using the paper set of rules; and merging the image bank float and the paper bank float into a single overall float.
