Clearing House

For more than 20 years, documental technologies walk together with the banking and payment methods, in the search for improving the efficiency of the processes and its automation.

The banking systems in Spain and Latin America, being between the most efficient in the world, use since then the images as an exchange mechanism of payment information between entities, thanks to the regulatory organizations and clearing houses.

These mechanisms are very important for the banking sector because they allow improving their productivity and to reduce the time and cost of processing the payment methods.

Furthermore, we cannot forget the actual market tendency that exists around the clearing of checks based on their images as seen, for example, by regulation 21 in the USA or the Checks Truncation Process in Brazil.

Therefore, thanks to IPSA's documental technology among others, banks count with massive processing solutions of information that comply with all the business and legal requirements, and also reduce fraud existing with these type of documents.
