In the US, 30 additional financial institutions implemented our check imaging branch capture solution. We also installed our VRPA+ remittance and lockbox processing solution in many small to large companies, many of whom installed Aperta's image cash letter software as well, allowing them to improve funds availability and to reduce costs.
