Advanced Lockbox Processing Solutions

ETran supports the scanning and association of paper checks and remittance documents. Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, meta data can be captured from check images and remittance advices for cash application purposes into any back-office system.

ETran's back-office and bank agnostic nature allows it to ingest detailed payment information from your outsourced lockbox and business' systems, and successfully match them via an automated process based on your unique business rules—i.e. 'consuming the feed'. Then, ETran can feed that data into your back-office and CRM systems.

Consuming and matching the transaction data with the appropriate customer accounts for automatic posting helps eliminate manual processes, and let's your employees focus on higher value functions such as exception handling. 

With FTNI's ETran platform, your company benefits from on-demand scalability and seamless integration capabilities with your existing banking relationships, as well as any accounting software and other back-office systems to automate the processing and posting of payments in a single pass—straight through processing.

Achieve true straight through processing of incoming payments from your internal or outsourced lockbox operations. ETran has the unique ability to seamlessly integrate with any back-office system in either batch or real-time to streamline and automate cash application operations. 

Upon login to the ETran system, users have complete oversight, visibility and direct access to all items via a secure, unified interface.

Internal accounts receivable teams can also improve oversight by utilizing ETran's robust search and reporting tools to analyze current business processes. Tailored to your unique business requirements, search and report can provide actionable insights and costs savings for your business. By creating standardized or customized reports, ETran provides your team with customers' transaction data and payment information in real-time.

Unlike a dashboard that only displays transactions from disparate receivable systems, a truly integrated receivables solution can accept, process and post any payment type—check, ACH/EFT, credit card, debit card, cash—via any payment channel—mailed-in, lockbox, called-in, in-person, online, mobile—on a single, secure (and compliant), SaaS platform. 

Internal Lockbox Operations: ETran is currently in use driving lockboxes at businesses processing as little as a few thousand checks and remittance documents per month, yet it is also powering lockbox operations processing nearly 1 million checks and associated documents monthly.

Outsourced Lockbox Operations: Currently used by banks, financial institutions and other third-party lockbox providers, FTNI delivers the technology and partnerships to support your outsourced lockbox needs.

ETran's Advanced RDC solutions deliver the ability to streamline the scanning and association of check payments. The RDC services quickly and efficiently read, process and associate checks with customers' accounts to speed check processing operations.

Once payments are uploaded and processed, the check payments are automatically deposited at a specific cutoff time and posted to your back-office system for cash application automation.

FTNI's platform, ETran, streamlines A/R workflows and processes by allowing internal teams to have complete oversight of all incoming payment data for review, processing and posting into your back-office system(s).

By streamlining and automating accounts receivable processes, truly integrated receivables solutions cut down or eliminate tedious, manual, time-consuming receivable tasks, allowing your internal team to spend more time on higher value functions such as exception handling.  

FTNI's ETran platform is a cloud-based, modular solution suite delivered in a SaaS model. Software-as-a-service delivery means significantly reducing, if not completely eliminating, all costs associated with having hardware managed on-site, as well as the dedicated staff and support needed to manage the on-premise systems.
