PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Louisville, KY, United States, 2008/06/17 - Ten Fulton Financial Corp. community banks offer check collection service at no cost to commercial customers [NASDAQ: FULT].

BSG Financial, LLC, a provider of profit-enhancing programs and marketing services to the financial industry, announced that Lancaster, Penn-based Fulton Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FULT), has selected its electronic check recovery solution, Re$ubmitIt®, to offer a valuable service to commercial accountholders within its 10-bank, $16.1 billion holding company.

According to bank officials, Fulton Financial Corp. was looking for an additional service for commercial accountholders that would also serve as a competitive advantage. BSG Financial’s Re$ubmitIt eases the burden of check collection for business customers, significantly increases the chances for successful collection, and also serves as a source of income for the bank. With Re$ubmitIt, businesses collect 100 percent of the face value of all NSF items collected through the completely automated process.

By utilizing electronic re-submission (RCK) technology, strategic re-presentment timing and multiple submissions to the check writer’s account, Re$ubmitIt successfully collects 70 to 75 percent of all items processed electronically, while eliminating the need for the business to participate in the collections process.

“We can help our commercial customers save time in the check collection process because of Re$ubmitIt’s ability to electronically collect funds from NSF checks,” said Ellen Whitmoyer, vice president of marketing for Fulton Financial Corp. “By enabling us to provide the businesses that bank with us with this value-added service free of charge, we can build stronger relationships with our commercial customers.”

“Electronic check recovery is a valuable service for commercial account holders, a revenue generator for the bank and a competitive differentiator,” said Barrett Nichols, founder and CEO of BSG Financial. “In today’s industry, where customer retention, deposit growth and revenue are all top issues, banks are wise to offer a service like Re$ubmitIt.”
