Create a CSV file of your items to deposit. 2. Transfer the file via Secure FTP site. 3. The Check21 transactions are processed at your bank. 4. Image Reporting is at your fingertips. Reduce Returns There are two simple steps that are required and are assured to reduce returns: 1. Run MicroBilt’s ID-Verify once on each consumer; ODFIs require this level of KYC for today’s transactions. 2. Run MicroBilt’s Risk Verify Database (rVd+) on each Check21 transaction to verify the status of the account: Name-MICR Match; Open/Closed, Positive/Negative balance, and many more fields with risk tiers… Commitment Check21 processing carries risk for the ODFI. This risk is off-set with a combination of holds and reserves. These items may be renegotiated over time as your Check21 relationship matures.
