- What is Small Business Remote Deposit?
Small Business Remote Deposit allows you to scan checks and submit your deposits to Commerce Bank. This allows you to skip the trip to the bank and make your deposit from your business or home office computer. Using a desktop scanner, the application converts the checks into images and prepares the check transactions for deposit. The check images are stored in a searchable database for your reference. Deposits are transmitted to Commerce Bank using a secure, encrypted Internet connection. Remote Deposit integrates with select accounting software (see system requirements) to improve processing of accounts receivables.
