A key differentiator of Processing Alliance is that images will be archived at the CUSO level and be able to be retrieved via a secure Internet connection at any time. Indeed, the last 365 days worth of images are always available. This eliminates the credit union having to develop and maintain its own archive, via internal servers or extensive CD-ROM libraries. It also ensures that the interfacing to various PC Banking systems for retrieving of check images by members is more easily managed and controlled.
