BankServe of San Francisco announced the SB1000 check and document scanner - the world’s first portable duplex USB scanner designed to convert paper checks to digital images for remote online deposit. The new scanner was made for BankServ’s DepositNow system that allows businesses to deposit checks into their bank accounts directly from their computers. The scanner is equipped with a top-feed slot that can hold documents up to 8.5″ x 14″ and has functionality of a two-sided color scanner. To take it on the go, the SB1000 draws power from the USB 2.0 port. The SB1000 scaner sells for $225 or you can lease the scanner from BankServ for $12 a month. The SB1000 scanner will be available for private-label packaging soon.
