Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing banking transactions including paper documents, the method comprising the steps of: (a) capturing first transaction data electronically from at least one paper document associated with each transaction, the first transaction data including at least one of magnetic ink character recognition data and an amount of each transaction, captured electronically during banking transactions conducted at a point of contact associated with a branch bank location; (b) storing the first transaction data in a transaction file on a branch host computing system; (c) reading the first transaction data from the transaction file; (d) transmitting the transaction file to a back office location computing device; (e) forwarding the at least one paper document associated with each of the banking transactions conducted at the point of contact to the back office location computing device; (f) generating, at the back office location, second transaction data reflecting information associated with the at least one forwarded paper document for each transaction, wherein generating the second transaction data comprises the step of imaging the at least one forwarded paper document associated with each transaction; (g) linking the first and second transaction data with respect to at least one of the transactions; and (h) processing the first and second transaction data, using computer processing components of the back office location computing device, to complete the banking transactions, the processing of the first and second transaction data not including magnetic ink character recognition line data completion and amount key entry unless an exception item is detected during the processing of the first and second transaction data.
