Frequently Asked Questions
What is a check scanner SDK?
A check scanner SDK is a software solution for financial institutions to digitize and process paper checks. The software can be integrated in an app or website environment.
The Scanbot Check Scanner SDK captures the check number, routing number, and account number from the MICR code as key-value pairs, allowing for easy processing within your backend systems. Our solution operates fully offline, ensuring complete data security for sensitive financial information.
What is an MICR code?
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. It is a unique 9-digit code used in banking to facilitate check processing. The first 3 digits refer to the city’s pin code. The middle 3 digits refer to the bank code and the last 3 digits refer to the branch code. Read more about MICR codes and how they work on our blog.
How does the Scanbot Check Scanner SDK work?
Our SDK enables your end-users to scan checks along with the corresponding MICR codes, simply by snapping a picture with their device. They can then upload the image in your online banking app and the data can be processed in your backend.
As the Scanbot Check Scanner SDK operates entirely offline, it never sends any data to our servers or those of a third party. It therefore also complies with both the GDPR and the CCPA and is ideal for handling sensitive data.
Does the Scanbot Check Scanner SDK need an internet connection?
No, as a 100% offline solution, the SDK doesn’t need an internet connection. This guarantees that sensitive financial information remains secure, with all data privacy measures upheld.
