Intrieve and Thillens Establish a New Partnership to Provide Complete Check 21-Ready Processing Serv

Customers can take advantage of the cost savings, productivity, and operational advantages enabled by an outsourced environment for Check 21, utilizing Thillens secure facilities and courier services, with check imaging technology provided by Intrieve. The Thillens/Intrieve service center is scheduled to be fully operational on July 23, 2004. This new service center is an expansion of Thillens existing check processing business and features comprehensive image-based item services for check processing such as image research, image statements, e-statements, and image exchange. Together, Thillens and Intrieve now offer clients a complete array of fully integrated technology solutions to financial institutions seeking a full suite of core banking applications, and other ancillary banking products and services, along with Thillens ATM, armored courier, and mobile check cashing services. This check processing service center can serve the financial institutions in the Chicago area that may not have an imaged check processing solution or may not be positioned to address Check 21 changes when the federal legislation takes effect at the end of October 2004.
