Mitek's ImageNet Mobile Deposit supports the payments industry standards for remote check deposit, and extends mobile payments and deposit capabilities to millions of consumers who use camera-equipped mobile phones. According to estimates from industry analysts, more than 600 million camera-equipped mobile phones shipped worldwide in 2007, with more than 100 million camera-equipped mobile phones shipped in the U.S.

Remote deposit has proven extremely popular with commercial and retail banking customers for its ability to reduce the amount of trips to a local banking branch. Commercial installations of remote deposit workstations will grow from 245,000 in 2007 to 785,000 this year and more than 5 million in 2012, according to data from Celent, a financial technology analyst firm, as quoted in the July issue of DigitalTransactions magazine. A recent survey conducted by MQA Research on behalf of CheckFree Corp., also found consumer interest very high. Nearly half of survey respondents indicated they would use a mobile banking and payments application if it were offered.

"Remote deposit technology is proven and is enjoying accelerating adoption, but the hardware cost makes it a non-starter for consumers," said Bob Meara, senior analyst, Celent, LLC. "Mitek Systems makes remote deposit technology affordable and ubiquitous using camera-equipped mobile phones. This will help banks retain existing customers and compete for new customers -- even when they don't have a comparable branch footprint."
