INTRODUCTION Banking sector is mainly the heart of economy in any country. However, this sector is facing
rapid changes and experiencing a transformation in the payment methods. This comes as aresult of the up-and-coming new efficient payment and cheque clearing ways showing everynow and then to gear up competition among banks and financial institutions.
To support their adaptation to the ongoing market requirements and remain alive andcompetitive, financial institutions and banks must undergo drastic transformation and
business processes. Yet, they concurrently have to keep awaken to the fact that cheque is themost widely accepted instrument for payment and financial transactions' settlement, and thatconsumers and businesses are pleased with writing cheques, as they represent a significant
payment alternative. However, the continuous rising in cheques volumes besides the growingmanpower and infrastructure costs all come together to insist the urgent need for means of
optimizing cheque processing and proficiency, and in turn, manage the processing cost.
Coupled with technology which is sweeping rapidly over banking sector and introducing anew area in the e-banking, banks are eagerly trying to handle both the competition and therevolution in payment processing by moving payment processes and cheque clearingoperations from the traditional paper clearing stream to the electronic image exchanged basedroute.
Realizing the many benefits behind application of the image-based cheque clearing,ProgressSoft has given a push to the e-banking progress when it first introduced theautomatic web based cheque clearing system, PS-ECC .
The core of the clearing mechanism lies in the Central Bank, Clearing House, MonetaryAgency, or Federal Reserve. The role of the above is to enforce established regulations andset and impose the financial rules. The presence of this institution is crucial in verifying thatthe clearing process has taken place adequately. In addition, this party is the judge whenconflicts arise.
PS-ECC is an image-based, cost-effective, cheque processing & settlement solution whereoriginal paper cheques are transferred to electronic images for electronic processing offinancial transactions and fund transfer between banks. This solution represents a MICR-
based cheques processing where cheques' images are electronically moved from the bank inwhich they were deposited to the bank on which they were drawn resulting in a faster creditto the account at the bank of deposit and an equivalent debit to the bank on which they weredrawn.
With the broad adoption of PS-ECC , banks didnt have to wait long till they soon discoverthe many short & long term benefits besides the financial and operational improvements bornto this solution. Electronification of cheques' images has resulted in lowered chequestransportation & float expenses which used to be unavoidable when banks were using themanual clearing.

Introduction
8
With no cheques paper to process, many overhead expenses have been reduced and aselectronic clearing is faster than the manual clearing, banks exposure to fraud has beendimensioned and the potential extension of deposit deadlines expanded to provide bettercustomer services.
PS-ECC has proven the ability to reduce mistakes due to manual processing and therebyreducing operational costs and customer complaints. This is due to its addressing of the errorsoccurring on the personal level or contingently and resolving them quickly through applyingthe concept of maker checker.
PS-ECC has contributed to the cheque paper truncation and has offered query-based retrievalof archived images when needed, as well.
Being a highly configurable, user friendly and highly productive solution, PS-ECC hasreplaced the old, time-consuming, lengthy process of manual clearing and contributed to thedevelopment of efficient payment and settlement system.
For all that you are right if you think that PS-ECC has a new logical style that bears noresemblance to any other business application you have ever seen.

G UIDE C ONTENTS This guide illustrates the PS-ECC system and covers the modules mainly meeting with thesystem end user roles and privileges.
1 G ETTING S TARTED The user guides illustration commences at the Getting Started part to indicate the first stepstowards system, demonstrating the system main modules and common features
plus mentioning some simple steps on how to run/exit the system. 2 O UTWARD
This module is used for cheques' presentment by bank of first deposit (BFD). Bank teller willscan images of the received cheques and add them into a batch. The teller proceeds by fillingthe batches' and the cheques' missing information then uploads the whole batch to theOutward clearing stages. Batches with incomplete data will pass through a Data Entry step.However, complete bathes will get verified audited in the Quality Assurance stage. BusinessAdministrator will ensure completeness and correctness of the cheques' data and thendispatch them to the ECCU or return incomplete/incorrect batches to the Repair stage to beamended there.3 I NWARD
This module is used to reply for the cheques presented by the BFD banks to the pay banksthrough the available communication channels. Cheques are replied by pay bank to the BFD
bank either accepted to be paid or rejected for certain returned reasons. This is done after passing the cheques through the technical and financial verification processes to ensurecompleteness of cheques information and verify their validity for payment.4 R EPORTS

2.1 O UTWARD W ORKFLOW Mechanized, as it is, in processing of cheques using MICR technology to handle chequeclearing and settlement functions, PS-ECC represents an efficient payment system that
manages the clearing process starting from the time a bank client hands a cheque over to theteller for clearing, until they are verified in the central clearing unit and the paying bankwhere they are decided to be paid or rejected. This is all done through the communicationchannels linking between the parties involved in the clearing process; Presenting Banks,Central Clearing Unit and Pay Banks.
The Outward workflow section is intended to explain the cheques path in the Presentmentcycle until they are dispatched to the ECCU and Pay banks.

1. 2.2 I MAGE Capture When the bank is serving as a "D EPOSITOR " in the clearing process, Outward is the modulefor handling the presented cheques. Image Capture is the first stage where the teller capturesthe cheques' face and back images and creates batches to keep the scanned cheques inside
them. This step is achieved by the PS-ECC system utilizing an ANSI standard ChequeScanner. A user has to fill all required data and ensure that the cheques' batches are completeand balanced before uploading them; or they will reach the Data Entry page. Complete and
balanced batches will arrive at the Quality Assurance stage.
In fo : all cheques inside a batch should have the following common specifications:1. Same currency2. Same account number3. Same urgency level4. Same payment method5. Same Account Type
2. 2.3 D AT A Entry Likewise the Image Capture and Repair, this page represents a maker level in the Outwardclearing process. Authorized users in this page fill the incomplete batches and cheques and
balance them before they are routed to Outward checker level which is the QualityAssurance.
3. 2.4 Q UALITY Assurance Quality Assurance is a mandatory step for all presented cheques to pass by. It is the checkerlevel of the Outward clearing where authorized users verify the cheques quality aspects and
confirm what the scanner and data entry users have done so far. The quality assuror validatesquality of the entered data (amount and date) besides the MICR and image being captured bythe cheque scanner. Here if the cheque data is complete and correct, the cheque will bedispatched to the ECCU, otherwise it will be forwarded to the following step; repair/rescan.
4. 2.5 Repair Defected cheques are received from the QA page at this page to be fixed and then resent tothe QA page or even deleted.
