  • Publication number: 20260087840
    Abstract: Systems for document type detection during a document upload process are disclosed. Character recognition processes are performed on images of a document being uploaded to a backend system. The character recognition processes may identify different subsets of characters in the document which are used to identify the document type. Subsets of characters may include keywords and account characters and each subset may be processed by a different character recognition process. One or both of the subsets of characters may be used to identify the document type and the identified document type may be used to decide whether to proceed with the document upload process.

  • Publication number: 20260051189
    Abstract: Systems for performing signature-based techniques on document during a document upload process are disclosed. During the document upload process, a document upload application may determine whether signature is required on the document to be uploaded and whether the required signature is present on the document. Upon determining that a signature is required but is missing from the document, document upload application may retrieve and merge the required signature with the document as part of the document upload process.

  • Publication number: 20250390855
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and non-transitory computer-readable device for a remote deposit environment activating, on a client device, a financial application, wherein the financial application is configured to instantiate a customer interface (UI) on the client device. Upon receiving a customer request, based on interactions with the UI, the method implements an electronic deposit of a financial instrument by activating a camera on the client device to generate a live stream of image data of a field of view of at least one camera, wherein the live stream includes imagery of at least a portion of the financial instrument. The method continues by blending common pixels from the imagery to form a blended image, and extracting by an optical character recognition program one or more data fields from the blended image of the financial instrument.

  • Publication number: 20250307913
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable device for a digital document verification process. In some embodiments, a split deposit tool may be provided in a mobile banking application to allow a customer to split a deposit and schedule deposit dates for various portions of the split deposit. In some embodiments, the split deposit tool may be provided in response to a determination that an amount of a check in an image exceeds a remaining remote deposit limit. In some embodiments, the amount may be determined using real-time optical character recognition (OCR), for example, active OCR performed on a live stream of check imagery.

  • Publication number: 20250292227
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments for identifying, in a remote deposit system, a level of correspondence of a financial instrument with past deposit activity. The level of correspondence may be used to determine a funds availability schedule and/or identify counterfeit financial instruments. In some embodiments, the level of correspondence may be determined by comparing a date associated with the financial instrument to a date parameter, an amount of the financial instrument to an amount parameter, and/or one or more financial instrument characteristics with one or more payer-specific financial instrument characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20250274552
    Abstract: Systems for performing instant optical character recognition (OCR) of documents to be uploaded to a server process for allowing mid-stream adjustments during the document upload process are disclosed. A system may include a mobile device with a document upload application and a backend system to which a document is to be uploaded. The backend system may initiate the OCR process automatically upon receiving images of documents to be uploaded and provide options to the document upload application for managing the upload process based on the results of the OCR process.

  • Publication number: 20250156835
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments for providing a mid-stream deposit availability schedule to a customer electronically depositing a check. The deposit availability schedule is generated by activating a mobile financial application, receiving a customer request to deposit a financial instrument, and based on the customer request, activating a camera on the client mobile device to access a field of view of at least one camera and capture one or more images of a financial instrument, store, in a computer memory on the client mobile device, the one or more images. An optical character recognition program, resident on the client mobile device, extracts in real-time, one or more data fields from one or more portions of the financial instrument, communicates the one or more data fields to a remote deposit server and receives a deposit availability schedule, before acceptance of the remote deposit.

  • Publication number: 20250117762
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and non-transitory computer-readable device for a remote deposit environment. Upon receiving a user request, based on interactions with the UI, the method implements an electronic deposit of a financial instrument by activating a camera on the client device to generate a live stream of image data of a field of view of at least one camera, wherein the live stream includes imagery of at least a portion of the financial instrument. The method continues by extracting in real-time, based on the formation of byte array objects from the live stream of image data, data fields from a ranked sequence of imagery to be processed by an optical character recognition (OCR) program resident on the client device. The OCR process extracts one or more data fields from of the financial instrument that are communicated to a remote deposit server to complete the electronic deposit.
