United Bank & Trust chose Laru's technology because it provides the bank's internal operations personnel with a user-friendly, comprehensive tool that can research, report and manage risk exposure effectively, as well as ensure compliance with existing and new ACH regulations taking effect on June 18, 2010.

"As the result of a recent audit, we recognized the need to manage our ACH transactions and files with better controls. ACH Clarity provides those necessary and important tools to accomplish this," said Marsha Whitehouse, Vice President of Treasury Management for the bank.

ACH Clarity is an enterprise system that complements United Bank & Trust's core ACH processing system. Laru's web interface monitors incoming and outgoing ACH traffic between participating financial institutions. Using ACH Clarity, the Bank's operations staff receives daily alerts and reports that identify transaction anomalies. These capabilities have given the bank an automated means to immediately access and identify potential problem transactions. ACH Clarity's drilldown capability provides forensics and isolates the source of the issues. The bank also generates comprehensive board reports for executive management using Clarity.

"Laru has successfully translated risk management challenges into some very comprehensive tools. With today's more stringent rules and regulations, there is now an increased need for stronger risk management systems and controls designed specifically for monitoring ACH transactions. The use of ACH Clarity will ensure that United Bank & Trust can use actionable business intelligence to safely pursue its ACH growth targets while complying with NACHA's risk management and assessment guidelines that take effect on June 18, 2010," said Rajiv Donde, president at Laru.
