Rapid growth of the remote deposit capture market, owing to digitalization initiatives among financial organizations, and government initiatives for remote deposit capture in developing countries, such as India and China, have boosted the remote deposit capture adoption in recent years.

On the contrary, technological advancements, such as AI integration in remote deposit capture platform, and the rise in penetration of cloud-based platforms are expected to present lucrative opportunities in remote deposit capture market forecast period. 

Patent Analysis of the Global Remote Deposit Capture Market 

Remote deposit capture (RDC) allows bank customers to electronically transmit check images to their banks for deposit from remote locations, such as their homes or offices, instead of physically delivering the checks to the bank. This technology has gained popularity in recent years as it provides convenience and faster access to deposited funds for customers. USAA has been aggressively enforcing its patents on RDC technology, signing licensing deals with banks like Discover and Truist after suing them. USAA claims to have over 130 patents related to RDC. 

PNC Bank challenged three of USAA's RDC patents at the U.S. Patent Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board and succeeded in getting them invalidated. This highlights how some banks are pushing back on USAA's patent enforcement strategy. Mitek, a mobile imaging technology company, was previously sued by USAA for infringing its RDC patents.

Regional/Country Remote Deposit Capture Market Outlook

Remote deposit capture awareness is increasing regionally as businesses recognize its efficiency and convenience, enabling users to deposit checks electronically, reduce processing time, and enhance cash flow management. Adoption of remote deposit capture in the U.S. is expected to accelerate as it becomes clear that the benefits associated with the service outweigh any risks, with the survey from RemoteDepositCapture.com and Mitek revealing that 80 percent of financial institutions offering mobile remote deposit capture report no losses and 90 percent say the benefits outweigh risks and costs. 

• RemoteDepositCapture.com’s survey found that 63% of financial institutions currently offer mobile remote deposit capture and 33% plan to offer it in the next 12 months. Only 4% have no plans for the service. 
• The findings reveal that 80% of financial institutions have no losses associated with mobile remote deposit capture and, of those who did report losses, 96% experienced losses from consumer deposits, 15% from small business deposits, and no losses from corporate deposits. 
• While the service has reached a critical mass of availability to consumers, it is not yet broadly accessible to small businesses or commercial clients. Among those who provide mobile remote deposit capture, 95% offer it to their retail clients but only 63% provide it to their small business customers and 37% to commercial customers. 

Industry Trends

• Remote deposit capture companies have started utilizing traditional remote deposit capture (RDC) in combination with cash applications powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to address the issues of RDC, which is termed RDC 2.0. RDC 2.0 integrates remote check deposit with a straight-through cash application. For instance, in October 2023, Digital Check Corp. introduced a new-generation CheXpress CX35 single-feed check scanner. The CheXpress CX35 is Digital Check Corp.’s next-generation, single-feed scanner designed for remote deposit capture (RDC). 

• Initially remote deposit capture (RDC) was used primarily by businesses. Check scanners were priced between $250 and $2,500 and were either purchased by the business or rented from the bank. These businesses were also often required to pay monthly fees or maintain a minimum account balance to reduce the risk of fraud. Businesses were screened by the bank to determine the risk of fraudulent checks and bounced checks, and were audited by the bank to ensure proper check handling and disposal. In 2020 Wells Fargo bank was ordered to pay $102.8 million in damages to USAA (United States Automobile Association) for infringing on mobile check deposit patents developed in 2008. However, the 2020 coronavirus pandemic accelerated trends of shifting consumer behavior, further increasing the use of mobile check deposits and reducing in-person check deposits, contributing to branch closures.
