  • Publication number: 20140012754
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a financial document processing system. The system receives an image of a financial document, such as a check, and identifies at least a transaction amount from the financial document. Then the system determines account information associated with the financial document. The system may identify a routing and account number on the financial document or identify the document based on a name on the document. Once the transaction amount and account information are known, the system determines a prospective balance for a financial account based on the account information and the transaction amount. If there are funds at least equal to the transaction amount in the financial account, the system validates the transactions. In some embodiments, the system also immediately updates the balance of the account and/or offers to complete the transaction.
