Reaches milestone of 2,000 units deployed in remote deposit capture
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2007 - Digital Check Corp, a leading provider of electronic check scanners for the distributed check capture industry, announced that Synovus Financial Corp (NYSE: SNV), a Columbus, Georgia-based financial services company, has renewed its commitment to deploy Digital Check check scanners to customers as a part of their remote deposit capture service. Synovus exclusively distributes Digital Check's TellerScan® devices through the bank's corporate treasury group.
