Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for a duplicate item processing module, installed on a computer and being executed by a processor, to process duplicate electronic checks, comprising the steps of: the duplicate item processing module electronically receiving from a depositing institution computing device a reversal image cash letter file comprising a reversal item, where the duplicate item processing module is located at a processing entity; the duplicate item processing module electronically comparing the reversal item to a record of previously deposited items received from the depositing institution computing device; if the reversal item does not match a plurality of items in the record of previously deposited items, the duplicate item processing module electronically forwarding the reversal item to a receiving institution; if the reversal item does match a plurality of items in the record of previously deposited items, the duplicate item processing module electronically comparing the reversal item to a record of items previously presented to a receiving institution computing device to determine whether an item matching the reversal item has been previously identified at the processing entity as a duplicate; and
