District Converts to Central Check Processing System

---

During the next couple of months, the Little Rock, Louisville and Memphis Branches will centralize their check processing systems and convert to software located on the central mainframe computer in St. Louis.

The conversion will provide the Eighth District with a common hardware and software platform for all check processing services. This new platform, called the Check Processing Control System (CPCS), was developed by IBM and is a state-of-the-art check processing operating system, one of the most widely used in the banking industry.

Because we will have only one processing system to support, the delivery of new products and enhancements will be quicker and more consistent. Specific conversion dates at each office begin as follows:

• Memphis -- Oct. 6
• Little Rock -- Nov. 3
• Louisville -- Nov. 24.

Once all offices convert to CPCS, we will be able to expand our electronic check presentment and electronic cash letter services District-wide.

Items such as cash letters, kill lists and advices will be modified and look slightly different in the centralized format; however, no changes are required of our customers. If you have any questions, contact your account executive.
