The Check Study is an extensive performance comparison of end-to-end check processing. Since 1995, Global Concepts has been gathering standardized data on productivity, cost, quality, and key profile measures for the major functions in check processing.  This two-part performance measurement survey encompasses the distinct functions that comprise end-to-end check processing operations. The Check Study offers participants the ability to study just Day One functions, just Day Two functions, or the entire process. The study includes the following functions:

  • Conventional Item Capture (Reader-Sorter; Reconcilement & Balancing; Reject Repair)
  • Transit Operations
