US Dataworks (Amex: UDW) today announced that it will be providing its paper-check-to-electronic-transmission solution as part of the Federal Reserve's CTAC (Check To ACH) product.

About Check 21

Federal Reserve Board has developed Check 21 to remove certain legitimate to check truncation (i.e. electronic information about the truncated checks is presented to paying banks instead of the original paper checks themselves). Check 21 is designed to facilitate check truncation, to foster innovation in the check collection system without mandating the receipt of checks in electronic form, and to improve the overall efficiency of the nation's payments system.

Check 21 may result in substantial payments system benefits, depending on the extent to which banks take advantage of provisions of Check 21 to expand the use of electronics in the collection and return of checks. Check 21 should result in faster collection and return of checks and lower costs in the long run; in addition, Check 21 would reduce banks'reliance on air and ground transportation for collection and return of checks. The more rapid check collection and return process could be accomplished in many ways, with benefits likely accruing to both banks and their customers.
