How it works

From scanned check to applied payment

Create a workflow with the Instant bank check model - the fields are already defined, so there's nothing to configure.
Scan checks in batches, or send images through the API from your lockbox or remittance process.
Payment data flows to your accounting or AR system via API, webhooks, or export. Uncertain fields go to Review Hub first.

Numbers and words, both captured: The written amount and the numeric amount come back as separate fields, so your team can check they agree before a payment is applied.

Why it matters

Checks still arrive. Someone still types them.

Plenty of customers still pay by check, and every check has to be applied to the right account. Accounts receivable teams and payment-processing BPOs key payer, amount, check number, and bank details from scans all day, and a single wrong digit sends cash to the wrong invoice.

The Instant bank check model extracts the fields on the face of the check - including the MICR routing and account numbers - without templates per bank. The data comes back structured and ready to match against open invoices.

Every field is scored for confidence, and uncertain values like a smudged amount go to Review Hub. Several reviewers can work the same queue on busy remittance days.

Check images are processed and stored in the EU and never used to train models.
