WATERLOO, ON, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RDM Corporation (TSX: RC), a leading developer of specialized software and hardware products for electronic payment processing, announced today that a major US bank, ranked in the top 50 based on total assets, has committed to ordering a significant volume of RDM's remote deposit capture products. The bank, which is an existing customer of RDM's Image & Transaction Management System (ITMS(R)) processing service, is planning a major launch of its own remote deposit capture offering specifically targeted to its small business customers. In order to meet expected demand, the bank has entered into a contract to license more than 5,000 ITMS end user locations and to purchase more than 5,000 scanners from RDM over the next 18 months. The bank has placed an initial order for scanners. As of April 30, 2008, RDM's ITMS network included 12,000 end user locations.
"We are very pleased to see an existing customer make aggressive plans to provide remote deposit capture services for its customers. The small businesses they are targeting are a natural fit for these services, as they stand to benefit significantly from the convenience of depositing checks right from their office," said Douglas Newman, President and Chief Executive Officer of RDM. "This bank has the potential to become one of our largest customers in the next 18 months. I have always believed that the major banks we have signed as ITMS distributors would be capable of delivering significant volumes of users and transactions once they made the decision to aggressively market their remote deposit capture services."
