"With our heritage as a branchless institution, we have specialized in extending advanced payment and acquisition processes to our clients," said Peter Chiccino, CIO/EVP at The Bancorp Bank. "We are constantly looking for ways to expand the way our clients make deposits, and mobile deposit processing is the next step in this expansion.  Our newly formed relationship with Mitek is ideal for supporting the mobile deposit needs of our clients."

The mobile deposit application is designed to be secure and simple to use. When depositing a check, the user initiates a mobile-banking session, keys in the deposit amount and snaps a photo of the front and back of the check. The software captures the check image and prepares it for transmission to the Bancorp. Before transmitting the check image, Mitek's IMagePROVE™ technology automatically corrects image distortions and skewing and confirms that it meets accepted Check 21 image-quality standards.

Mitek's patent-pending Mobile Deposit supports the payments industry standards for Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) and is available on the iPhone™ and selected BlackBerry™ and Windows Mobile™ handsets.

"We couldn't be more pleased that a tech-savvy organization like The Bancorp Bank has chosen Mobile Deposit as part of its strategy to offer its customers access to their funds more quickly and with an extra level of convenience," said Jim DeBello, president and CEO of Mitek Systems, Inc.
