In Brief: NCR Imaging for Webster of Connecticut

DAYTON, Ohio — Webster Bank has awarded NCR Corp. a five-year contract for check-imaging services.

The contract includes a stipulation that allows Webster to bring check processing back in-house, using NCR’s software platform, before the contract expires. “We were concerned with being locked into a long-term outsourcing contract,” said David Lentini, senior vice president of Webster.

The $11 billion-asset bank, based in Waterbury, Conn., will use NCR’s recognition and power-encoding software, check-imaging system, and image storage and retrieval services.

It will also provide its corporate clients with NCR’s image-based account reconciliation processing and cash management services.
