SAN DIEGO, May 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK) (www.miteksystems.com), a global leader in mobile capture and identity verification software solutions, today announced that its Mobile Deposit® solution has now processed over one billion check deposits. The company’s Mobile Deposit is licensed by more than 5,000 U.S. financial institutions and used by more than 70 million consumers. Crossing the billionth check milestone further establishes Mitek’s Mobile Deposit as the de facto standard for safe and convenient mobile check deposit.
“To put that in perspective, one billion checks laid end-to-end would circle the Earth four and a half times,” said Michael Diamond, General Manager of Mitek’s Payments Division. “Moreover, the value of the funds entrusted through the Mitek solution to-date, at over $400 billion, is greater than the GDP of over 160 countries.”
James DeBello, Mitek’s Chairman and CEO, added, “We estimate we have collectively saved consumers over 416 million hours in unnecessary trips to a branch or ATM. Moreover, we estimate that banks have saved over $2.5 billion in reduced processing costs. And, today with less than 5% of the total number of checks being deposited through a mobile device we are just getting started.”
