VIEWPOINTE ADDS SOUTHEAST CORP CREDIT UNION AS ITS FIRST POINTE2POINTE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY CUSTOMER
Tallahassee, FL., and New York—December 10, 2008— Viewpointe®, a leading provider of check image exchange and archive services, announced today that Southeast Corporate Federal Credit Union, the nation’s fifth largest corporate credit union, is its first Pointe2Pointe® Internet connectivity customer.
Viewpointe’s Internet connectivity option allows financial institutions of all sizes to more easily and cost effectively engage in image exchange via Viewpointe through the Internet. Without the expense of a dedicated telecom line and with access to exchange with other top financial institutions via Viewpointe, Southeast Corporate found this connectivity option met its needs.
“After meeting with Viewpointe and considerable planning and research, we found Viewpointe’s offering to be the most competitive in the market,” said Kay Moon, SVP, Chief Operating Officer, Southeast . “By connecting through the Viewpointe network, we are able to reach additional banks to perform check image exchange that are valuable to our existing customers.”
Pointe2Pointe enables financial institutions to safely send and receive electronic check images, rather than paper, to Viewpointe's existing customers. With the recently added Pointe2Pointe Internet option, Viewpointe is helping to complete the last mile in image exchange for institutions of all sizes. The Pointe2Pointe Internet connectivity offering makes it easier for financial institutions with annual check image volumes of 75 million or less to get connected with an image exchange network.
“Using Pointe2Pointe Internet connectivity, Southeast Corporate will be able to engage in electronic image exchange with additional key exchange partners in the quickest and most efficient manner possible,” said Diane Scott, President of Viewpointe Emerging Business. “In the current economic environment, financial institutions are even more challenged to find competitive and cost-effective methods of operating their businesses, and options such as this one could provide them with material solutions.”
