Cross Keys Bank deploys Diebold’s ImageWay
payment processing solution
After a successful implementation of Diebold’s integrated services solutions in October 2006, Cross Keys Bank of Louisiana recently deployed another Diebold solution – ImageWay® payment processing. This solution gives financial institutions the ability to reduce the costs of servicing large volume deposit clients with image-based check processing services while capturing market share.

With ImageWay payment processing, Cross Keys Bank’s commercial customers can scan checks and receive same-day credit, eliminating the need to prepare handwritten deposit tickets and drive to the bank to make deposits. It also provides a browser-based interface, online home page marketing capabilities, and the flexibility to tailor the program to fit the bank’s needs on daily cutoff times and more.

“Merchant capture is helping round out the total delivery of services from Diebold to the bank,” said Diebold’s David Bucci, senior vice president, customer solutions group. “Cross Keys Bank associates like the idea that they can utilize an industry leader as their single point of contact to receive professional help immediately on several important areas that effect their customers. We help them better serve their customers.”

to support energy saving campaign
Diebold recently signed an agreement with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Beijing, China, to become a supporter of its “20 Ways To 20 Percent Energy Saving Campaign” and assist the Chinese government in pledging to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent by 2010.

“Diebold is committed to the promotion of environmental protection activities, and considers this endeavor part of our corporate culture,” said Daniel Hu, Diebold’s vice president and managing director, North Asia and China. “The signing ceremony will also serve as a reminder for our associates to be conscious of environmental protection in every aspect of their lives, including work.”

As part of its efforts, Diebold will distribute brochures about WWF’s campaign to customers in an effort to publicize energy conservation and environmental protection.
