Panini, the market leader in distributed check capture, today announced an agreement making Panini the exclusive check scanner alliance provider of CUNA Strategic Services (CSS), the subsidiary organization of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), the leading trade association supporting the nation's 8,000+ credit unions.
"CSS offers strategic relationships that provide the best overall value for quality products and services used by credit unions," says Doug Roberts, President, Panini North America. "This alliance model is given significant attention by credit unions and solution providers to this market, so we are thrilled with the new agreement."
Panini's market-leading Vision X® family of check scanners and the newly released Panini I:DealTM are now available to credit unions under this new agreement. The Panini scanners will allow credit unions to focus on providing remote deposit capture (RDC) to their business members and the ability to implement a scalable branch image capture (BIC) solution with configurability for each unique operating environment in both applications.
"Credit unions are beginning to show a strong interest in RDC, so this new strategic alliance relationship comes at a great time for credit unions," adds Wes Millar, Senior Vice President, CUNA Strategic Services. "Panini's check scanners will allow credit unions and their business members to take full advantage of the operational efficiencies and cost savings associated with this deposit application."
The Panini Vision X leads the distributed capture market with nearly 400,000 scanners deployed worldwide. The check scanner's scalability provides users with unparalleled investment protection; as their deposit needs change, so can the scanner configuration without replacing the hardware. The Panini I:Deal, designed specifically for small business RDC, quickly became the industry's scanner of choice for low volume RDC as Panini tripled the product's initial sales forecast in its first two months on the market.
