Aqubanc selected the Digital Check TellerScan for their high acceptance in demanding check / cheque environments and this selection was subsequently confirmed when Digital Check was selected as the Kodak i6000 series and the NCR 7728 series. Aqubanc's Cheque 21 Systems rely on the Digital Check CX30, the TS230, and, the TS4120.

New rules for electronic check / cheque depositing have built the need to properly destroy your checks / cheques and other valuable documents. Rather than leave this process to chance, Aqubanc first surveyed our hardware partners about who makes the most reliable, trouble-free shredder: all recommended MBM. The DestroyIT 2260 Cross-Cut is the first choice to shred checks / cheques while complying with Accounts Receivable Check Conversion required and Check 21 / Cheque 21 recommended 14-day destruction requirements. Peace of mind comes with cross-cutting heads backed by a 10-year MBM warranty.

The OPEX 51 Rapid Extraction Desk with or without an OPEX AS3600 series image scanner can provide nonprofits and charitable organizations with significant operating efficiency. One operator can open and immediately Like-Type sort the contents of each envelope: Like-Typing eliminates the need to sort by campaign or appeal. When combined with an OPEX AS3600 series scanner, even higher efficiencies may be possible even with the higher operating costs. Aqubanc provides OPEX 51 and OPEX AS3600 series products that are fully refurbished to qualify for OPEX maintenance. By delivering refurbished products, Aqubanc helps nonprofits and charitable organizations to better steward your precious resources without losing the benefits these devices deliver downstream.

Established in 1987 by experienced business and technical check processing professionals, SEAC BANCHE pioneered fast, efficient and small-footprint check reading machines and image scanners. SEAC BANCHE has placed over 450,000 units worldwide, it is this type of experience which drew Aqubanc to certify their products for the Cheque 21 System. The SEAC BANCHE Orion offers unprecedented speed within a beautifully compact and functional design. For organizations who regularly received more than 5,000 daily transactions, the SEAC BANCHE SB 4000 and RS 40 series are proven products. The Orion is covered by Advanced Unit Replacement for 5-years which is offered exclusively by Aqubanc to nonprofit organizations, and, by Contact Innovations in Canada; while the SB 4000 and RS 40 series are serviced by on-site technicians.

The easiest method to improve throughput through the CTS LS150, Digital Check TS230 and Seac Orion scanners is to jog a stack of checks / cheques and Reply Devices. Jogging does two things: it removes static electricity that may be holding checks and Reply Devices to each other, and, it aligns the leading edges of the entire stack of work to be imaged - taken together this further reduces the possibility of jams or double-feeds in the Auto Feeder. Aqubanc's research revealed the MJ-1000 by Shear Tech as one of the smallest, table-top, automatic jogger with an outstanding record. Aqubanc requires at least one MJ-1000 for every check scanner with an automatic feeder.

Building upon over 30 years experience on how to best insert mail into envelopes, the Ultra Systems division of Inscerco was formed in 1992 to reverse this process by taking mail out of the envelope. Each envelope is opened by milling envelope edges without damaging the contents. Folding each side out-of-the-way in a patented process makes it easier for the Gift Receipting or Gift Processing operator to extract and sort the donation contents. Aqubanc partners with Ultra Systems corporate and with their dealer channel for all the Milly, Single-Cut, Tri-Cut and Tri-Fold products.
