What is Remote Deposit Service?

Remote Deposit Service (RDS) is a system that sets up businesses to process their check deposits in their place of business. This is done with the use of high speed Internet, a check scanner and secure access to a web-based tool.

Deposits are scanned throughout each business day into a deposit batch which is reviewed and submitted in the afternoon and processed for the same business day. In addition to processing regular checks submitted by your customers, RDS gives business owners ACH capabilities such as:

• Process checks by phone
• Set up one-time payments as well as recurring payments electronically from customers’ accounts
• Web payments
• And more

What Do I Need to Get Set Up?

The basic requirements to use RDS are:

• High speed Internet access
• Computer
