HARRIS NESBITT SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH NETDEPOSIT TO OFFER REMOTE CHECK DEPOSIT SERVICES TO THEIR CLIENTS
New Value-Added Services Enhance Customer Relationships and Position Harris Nesbitt for Growth
SALT LAKE CITY, UT & CHICAGO – (October 18, 2005) – NetDeposit, Inc. and Harris Nesbitt, the U.S. investment and corporate banking arm of BMO Financial Group (NYSE, TSX: BMO), today announced an agreement to provide remote deposit capture products and services to Harris Nesbitt's corporate clients.
Harris Nesbitt's new remote deposit capability will be based on NetDeposit's revolutionary remote capture product NetCapture BusinessTM. This new service will allow businesses to make check deposits without leaving the office. Using a desktop scanner and easy-to-use software, clients can now securely image their deposits and transmit them electronica lly to the bank for processing, reducing the time and cost it takes to prepare and make deposits and increasing the speed of availability of funds. Harris Nesbitt will utilize NetDeposit's NetConnect family of products to optimize clearing. The company expects to offer this service to its corporate clients in late 2005.
"This is an important service for our clients because it virtually puts Harris where our clients need us to be. It gives them the convenience of making deposits on their own schedule, from their own locations, whether or not they are physically located near a Harris branch," said Dennis Dean, Executive Managing Director, Cash Management Services, Harris Nesbitt. "Partnering with NetDeposit enables us to get to market quickly with the best technology in the business, which will allow us to provide value-added services and build stronger relationships with our clients and potential clients." "We are excited to be working with Harris Nesbitt, which has a tradition of providing superior service to its customers," said Danne Buchanan, NetDeposit CEO. "As a leader in cash management products to the middle market, Harris Nesbitt's remote deposit capture offering continues to demonstrate its leadership tradition well into the new era of electronic check processing – the C21 Marketplace."
