ClairMail Inc., a mobile banking and payments solutions provider, has entered into strategic partnership with Mitek Systems Inc., a provider of image analytics and mobile document capture applications.
According to a news release from ClairMail, it expects to integrate Mitek's Mobile Deposit application into the ClairMail mobile banking and payments platform, which powers mobile banking services for many U.S. financial institutions. "Consumers expect to conduct everyday tasks including their banking with their Smartphones," said James DeBello, Mitek's president and chief executive. "Mobile Deposit is rapidly becoming a crucial part of any mobile banking offering. By integrating Mobile Deposit, ClairMail enables their customers to deposit checks from anywhere and adds new convenience and value to ClairMail's rich mobile banking offering." Through integration with ClairMail's platform, ClairMail and Mitek will provide consumers with a fully integrated solution that combines the benefits of all three modes of mobile banking — SMS, mobile Web and ClairMail's unique Smart Client application — with remote deposit capture in one streamlined interface. The ClairMail platform also delivers multilevel alerting capabilities, and now provides users with account details after the check submission process, all within the mobile channel. Mitek's Mobile Deposit supports the payments industry standards for remote deposit capture and extends mobile deposit capabilities to millions of consumers who use cell phones equipped with cameras.
