NOVATO, CA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2009) - ClairMail, Inc., the leader in mobile banking
and payment solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Mitek
Systems, Inc. (OTCBB : MITK ), an innovator of image analytics and mobile
document capture applications. ClairMail will integrate Mitek's Mobile
Deposit® application into its own mobile banking and payments platform,
which powers the mobile banking services of many of the nation's top
financial institutions. With Mobile Deposit incorporated into the ClairMail
platform, financial institutions will have the ability to provide consumers
faster availability to funds and an extra level of convenience.
"Consumers expect to conduct everyday tasks including their banking with
their Smartphones," said James DeBello, President and CEO, Mitek Systems,
Inc. "Mobile Deposit is rapidly becoming a crucial part of any mobile
banking offering. By integrating Mobile Deposit, ClairMail enables their
customers to deposit checks from anywhere and adds new convenience and
value to ClairMail's rich mobile banking offering."
Through integration with ClairMail's platform, ClairMail and Mitek will
provide bank customers with a flexible, customizable, fully-integrated
solution, which combines the benefits of all three modes of mobile banking
-- SMS, mobile web and ClairMail's unique Smart Client application -- with
remote deposit capture in one streamlined interface. The ClairMail platform
also delivers multi-level alerting capabilities, which empowers users to
conduct transactions, respond to or resolve account activity and now
provides users with account details after the check submission process all
within the mobile channel.
Mitek's Mobile Deposit supports the payments industry standards for Remote
Deposit Capture (RDC), and extends mobile deposit capabilities to millions
of consumers who use cell phones equipped with a camera.
"As financial institutions around the world continue to realize that mobile
is the strategic channel of the future, this agreement with Mitek further
extends our industry leadership and allows us to offer a comprehensive set
of mobile banking features required by today's consumer," said ClairMail
CEO Pete Daffern. "We have always been dedicated to providing the best
technology and services to power the adoption of mobile banking and this
partnership will increase the ability to foster customer loyalty and
