Bank-Neutral Remote Deposit Solution Now Available to All Businesses
DAYTON, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Heartland Payment Systems, one of the nation`s largest payments processors, has
bundled Panini`s I:Deal check scanner with its Express FundsSM solution for
remote deposit capture (RDC), powered by transmodus. Heartland is already
processing live deposits via the bank-neutral check management solution using
the newest scanner platform from Panini, the market leader in distributed
capture. The Express Funds solution allows Heartland customers to scan and
deposit checks to any bank at their convenience using the Panini I:Deal.

"We began looking for an easy-to-use, reliable and cost-effective check scanner
when we expanded our Express Funds solution," says Tony Capucille, director of
check management at Heartland. "The Panini I:Deal supports our strategy to
provide state-of-the-art solutions to business owners receiving paper payments."

Heartland Express Funds is an innovative program designed to accelerate cash
flow for business users by digitizing the check deposit process. With this
unique deposit and recovery solution, business owners gain the ability to
deposit checks anytime and from anywhere - using the Panini I:Deal. They also
benefit from the advantages of Heartland AutoRecoverySM, an automated program
that efficiently recovers funds from returned checks.

"We are very excited that Heartland selected the Panini I:Deal for its Express
Funds solution," adds Doug Roberts, president of Panini North America. "The
bank-neutral component, as well as Heartland`s national sales and servicing
force of more than 1,700 professionals, provides a wonderful opportunity to
facilitate downstream adoption of remote deposit capture."

The first checks ever processed by a client for deposit into a financial
institution using the Panini I:Deal scanner took place on April 22, 2009 through
Express Funds, powered by transmodus.
