1. How can RemitStream Solutions help my customers improve their cash flows and provide better customer service?
Our unique zip code allows the post office to prioritize your customers' mail and reduce their mail times by 1-3 days. Our proximity to the post office, hourly 24 x 7 mail retrieval, and our image-enabled processing speed up your customers' processing times. Payments are deposited faster, so cash flow is improved and payment information received faster. Faster payment information enables reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and improved customer service.

7. What types of businesses do you work with?
Our sole client base is financial institutions. We provide lockbox processing to financial institutions and, as a third-party processor, to any of their customers who have paper-based remittances in industries ranging from manufacturing and transportation to healthcare, real estate, securities, and insurance.

8. What differentiates RemitStream Solutions lockbox products from those of your competitors?
We are a true third-party, private-label processor. We do not compete with our financial institution partners for their lockbox processing business. Lockbox processing is our only business; we are not distracted from our mission by competing product lines.

9. What do you mean by private-labeled services?
Your brand name and logo appear on our output, so your customers see your name and logo, not that of RemitStream Solutions.
top


10. What type of support do you provide?
We view our relationship as mutually supportive. You maintain control by marketing, servicing, and directly billing your customers. After we process your customers' payments, we deposit their checks at the clearing bank of your choice, and you credit your customers' deposit accounts. We provide customer service through your Customer Service Group and deliver training presentations to your sales force as appropriate.

11. How do the costs of RemitStream Solutions compare with in-house lockbox processing?
Our financial institution partners can generate new fee-based revenues by private-labeling our lockbox services without incurring the capital expenditures or other fixed costs associated with in-house processing. You will be able to spend time on more profitable activities while we take care of the processing. Your customers can avoid expenses like those for P.O. box rental, messenger service, supplies, and staff salaries. With these savings in mind, you will be happy to discover that our fees are competitive. Feel free to call us at 312-660-5185 for specific pricing information.

12. How do you address changes in the banking system that may have an impact on lockbox processing?
RemitStream Solutions participates in various industry forums to keep on top of the latest technology solutions available for lockbox processing. We also monitor trends in the industry and the processing requirements of our clients so that we can identify solutions to meet your needs.

Some of our recent solutions include:

To help the customers of our financial institution clients manage their exception items, RemitStream Solutions offers LockboxOnline Unbankables. When users receive an email notification of a potential unbankable item, they log onto LockboxOnline, the Web-based image viewing and reporting service, and make decisions same-day about how to process the item. Customers no longer lose a day in returning their decisions to us.

For property management companies, RemitStream Solutions' Property Management Lockbox enables assessment payments to be sent to one lockbox with the deposits made to separate accounts (DDAs) for each homeowners association. The property management company no longer needs to maintain a separate lockbox for each homeowners association. Assessments get processed more quickly and accurately.

Annually, RemitStream Solutions provides clients with a SAS 70 report, which provides assurances that our operations are high-quality yet efficient. The report can demonstrate to your financial institution's management and clients that your organization has met Sarbanes-Oxley's requirements without the need for your own special audit.

In the healthcare arena, we comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to protect the privacy of health information as necessitated by our client base and are planning healthcare lockbox services to address that industry's specific needs.
