Deutsche to launch digital cheque processing

Deutsche Bank is moving its global cheque processing operations to the cloud after signing a strategic partnership with HCL Technologies.

The German investment bank announced that the Indian technology firm is to build a cloud-based, fully-scalable digital cheque processing platform which is expected to go live in 2019.

The project will enable corporate and institutional clients to use data analytics generated out of the platform to better manage business flows and working capital.

Shahrokh Moinian, global head of cash products, global transaction banking at Deutsche Bank, said: “While cheques are still widely used around the world, the volumes across the industry are falling and processing them remains a labour intensive, highly manual task.”

“We are turning a challenge of a commoditised product with declining volumes into an opportunity for innovation and creation of digital assets, which will ultimately benefit our customers.”
