Computrol's Domestic & Foreign Collections (DFC) system processes bank collection items. These items receive special handling outside of standard clearing and are usually subject to collection fees, float charges and out-of-pocket expenses. DFC uses a browser based user interface to promote accuracy and ease of use and helps reduce costs by automating the collection effort.

DFC Benefits

• Reduces Back Office Effort

  DFC automates the collection item and adjustment processing and eliminates manual processes such as preparation of DDA tickets and general ledger entries. Real time interfaces to banking applications obtain current customer information to save operators time while processing items.

• Promotes Flexibility and Accuracy

  Users define collection and other fees, rates, types of items, general ledger entries, processing regions and many other system controls using the browser based user interface. These parameters provide customization of DFC without programming. Fees can be established by processing region and type of item for pricing flexibility. Fees, currency and interest calculations are captured automatically on the individual items and then interfaced and reported to their respective departments.

• Embodies Ease of Use

  The browser based user interface makes DFC extremely easy to use. Training time is reduced, errors in data entry are minimized and navigation through the system is performed efficiently. Items are easily located via customized searching capabilities.

• Promotes Cost Efficiency

  DFC supports either a centralized or de-centralized collections operation. New branches and banks can be seamlessly absorbed into the operation with no down time or reprogramming required.
