SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - BankServ, worldwide experts in electronic payments, and Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in advanced digital imaging and office solutions, today announced a partnership to bring the power and convenience of remote deposit capture to the increasingly mobile workforce. By combining the leading remote deposit solution, DepositNow®, with Canon's new mobile imaging device, the imageFORMULA P-150 personal scanner, BankServ and Canon U.S.A. bring to market a compact, affordable deposit solution for everyone from home-based employees to on-the-go travelers.

Using nearly any computer with an Internet connection, in any location, individuals and businesses can quickly scan checks using their portable Canon imageFORMULA P-150 personal scanner and securely deposit their funds through DepositNow to any checking account in the U.S. -- all without setting foot in a bank.

"In our tight economy, businesses need multi-purpose solutions," said David Keenan, vice president, Sales and Marketing at BankServ. "We are pleased to support the Canon imageFORMULA P-150, DR-2010C and DR-2580C scanners because of their versatility and remarkable portability. DepositNow helps anyone to get paid faster and easier, and Canon's impressive offerings will extend our reach to even more businesses, environments and consumers."

"The combination of speed, advanced features and high image quality in such a compact footprint makes this an ideal image capture solution for everyone from 'on-the-go travelers' to users in small offices," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "Together, the new imageFORMULA P-150 personal scanner and DepositNow bring the power and convenience of remote deposit to any consumer or business."

Weighing just over two pounds, Canon's new P-150 personal scanner is small enough to fit inside a briefcase or laptop bag and measures only 11-inches long, 3.7-inches wide and 1.6-inches high. Powered by a single USB connection, the imageFORMULA P-150, with its automatic document feeder, can scan full-size documents, business cards and checks in one pass. The versatile, multi-function scanner retails at just $295.

Also certified for use with DepositNow are the Canon DR-2010C and DR-2580C Workgroup scanners. The Canon imageFORMULA P-150 personal scanner with the DepositNow desktop deposit add-on will be exclusively available through CDW beginning October 28th.
