US Dataworks Wins Contract to Deliver ARC Processing Solution PR Newswire - May 03, 2005 06:00
HOUSTON, May 3, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- US Dataworks, Inc. (Amex: UDW), a leading developer of payment processing software, announced today that it has signed a contract with Verizon Corporate Services Group Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. to provide its Clearingworks(TM) Accounts Receivable Conversion (ARC) processing platform. US Dataworks' Clearingworks will allow Verizon to convert paper checks into electronic transactions at five of the company's sites of operation.
US Dataworks will begin installing its Clearingworks ARC platform at Verizon's sites and anticipates completion in 2006. When Clearingworks software is installed at all five Verizon sites, Verizon will be able to convert transactions from two different remittance platforms to ARC transactions that in turn will be submitted to two separate financial institutions for processing and payment.
US Dataworks's ARC solution incorporates Clearingworks' industry-leading capabilities of MICR parsing, eligibility sorting and return processing. Fees for the US Datawork's ARC platform are charged through a simple, all inclusive per transaction price.
After responding to a Request for Proposal (RFP), US Dataworks was selected by Verizon over other bidders.
"US Dataworks is very pleased to have been selected by Verizon to deliver its ARC processing solution," said Charles Ramey, chairman and CEO of US Dataworks. "We believe that our Clearingworks ARC platform, with its technical capabilities and pricing structure, offers companies in the remittance industry an edge over other ARC processing software and we are gratified to see that companies are recognizing its advantages."
Recent changes in the National Automated Clearing House (NACHA) rules coupled with the passage into law of Check-21 now make it possible for banks, retailers and billers to electronically process paper checks and all other forms of payments. The transition to electronic processing of payments, via ARC or Check 21, is expected to create greater efficiencies and cost savings.
US Dataworks is a developer of payment processing solutions, focused on the financial services market, federal, state and local governments, billers and retailers. Software developed by US Dataworks is designed to enable organizations to transition from traditional paper-based payment and billing processes to electronic solutions that automate end-to-end processes for accepting and clearing checks.
