Patriot Act Compliance With Card Scanning
Credit unions face new ID challenges complying with the Patriot Act. Historically, credit unions only served members with a common bond, making it easier to identify the new member.
With the move to community charters, credit unions now need means to better identify new and existing members. In most cases, this will be done by examining standard identification such as driver's licenses or passports.
For one credit union, a comprehensive solution to this requirement has been the identificationcard scanning products offered by Card Scanning Solutions.
Andrew Ackman of US Agencies Credit Union in Portland, OR raves, "We're currently using [Card Scanning Solution products] to comply with the US Patriot Act. We are able to save the images of the identification cards and import them into our document imaging system. This allows us to pull up the image of the ID card while the members are conducting their transaction and verify their signature and picture ID at the time of transaction. It's an excellent product! You just place the card on the scanner and it does all the rest."
With over 20,000 end-user installs worldwide, Card Scanning Solutions provides a low-cost, turnkey scanning and retrieval solution. Applications include: The IdScan, the ScanShell Pro OCR, the SwipeScan and the ScanShell 1000 - the passport scanner.
