OfficeCHEQ™ - Back Office Conversion
OfficeCHEQ™ is the electronic conversion of paper checks received through the mail or from a drop-off location for the payment of good or services.
Checks received from a drop-off location or from the point of sale are converted into electronic check transactions though a Back Office Conversion (BOC) operation. The Electronic transactions are then processed through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network as Back Office Conversion (BOC) transactions or through the Fed as a Check 21 item. If the customer’s check is drawn on a non-participating financial institution, the item is processed as an Image Replacement Document (IRD).
Both the image and the MICR data from the converted checks are transmitted via a secure FTP site to the CHEQ Processing Center daily, as needed.

OfficeCHEQ™ Process
Paper Checks are scanned and converted into electronic items as a BOC. The Image of the check, the MICR Data Line and the amount of the transaction are used to create the electronic file of BOC / IRD transactions.
The batch files are then transmitted to the CHEQ Processing Center where they are processed through the ACH network as BOC transactions or through the Fed as Check 21 transactions.
The image of the check will serve as both the proof of payment as well as the instrument in the recovery process of any returned item.
