ABSTRACT:
A check verification system for providing customer-operated verification of checks at point-of-sale locations. The present system enables a customer to verify several possible kinds of checking functions, including verification of payroll or government checks as well as certain types of personal checks for cash, and sets limits on the number of times each checking function will be verified in a period of time. The system utilizes a number of local point-of-use terminals which are operated by the customer, and which communicate with a remotely-located transaction processor including a positive file of customers who are entitled to verify checks with the present system. The positive check verification files do not require the current bank balance of the customer, and the present system is designed to include persons who are merely the payees of checks and have no checking account or other established relationship with any bank. The present check verification system includes an identification card containing a unique number for each customer; a personal customer code, which is not on the card, is also provided for manual entry into the input terminal by the customer. Check verification is given a positive acknowledgement within the input terminal by printing information including a verification number on the back of the specific check being verified. The printed verification number on the customer-supplied check enables such checks to be factored or purchased for the benefit of the merchant who accepts checks verified by the present system.
