FUTURE CHECKS INTEGRATION
First Claim
1. A future check integration system comprising:
- a data capture device;
a memory device;
a communication device; and
a processing device operatively coupled to the data capture device, the memory device, and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute computer-readable program code to;
capture data related to a check, before the check is presented to a paying bank, using the data capture device;
store the captured data related to the check on the memory device; and
receive account information from a financial institution or affiliate, using the communication device that is configured to communicate with a device at the financial institution or affiliate.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses and methods for a system that captures check data as the check is drafted or thereafter, and before the check is presented to the paying bank. Generally, a customer will use a data capture device to capture future check data from a check as the customer drafts the check. The future check data captured includes information drafted, printed, encoded, etc. on the check. Generally, the data capture device is a device, such as a digital pen, a scanner, a camera device, a device included in a customer'"'"'s personal display assistant (“PDA”), or other data capture system. After the customer captures the future check data, the data is compared to the customer'"'"'s account information at a financial institution. Alerts are sent to the customer if the customer is in danger of over drafting the account or if potential fraud is detected.
