What is Remote Deposit?
Remote deposit allows electronic depositing of items by utilizing a desktop scanner connected to a PC and the Internet. Users scan checks at their business location and electronically transmit data and check images securely to WoodTrust Bank for deposit.

The process works in three simple steps:
1. Scan – The scanner captures the front and back of each check, including the MICR information and dollar amounts.
2. Balance – Checks are totaled, balanced, and a virtual electronic deposit ticket is prepared for approval.
3. Transmit – All check images are securely sent to WoodTrust Bank electronically and deposited into the appropriate accounts.
