PAPER PAYMENT RECEIPT, PROCESSING AND FAILURE REMEDIATION
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the code when executed by a processor causes a computer associated with a financial institution to electronically notify an individual of a failure of a transaction associated with a received correspondence item, the computer readable program code in said article comprising:
- computer readable program code for causing the computer to receive a paper correspondence item;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to derive a digital image from the correspondence item;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to identify, based on the derived digital image, whether the correspondence item is classified as one of a deposit, a payment or a legal order processing document, and to identify, based on the derived digital image of the correspondence item, the individual associated with the correspondence item;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to, in response to the classification of the correspondence item as one of the deposit, the payment or the legal order processing document, route the correspondence item to a sub-entity of the financial institution, said sub-entity being associated with a classification associated with the correspondence item;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to determine a failure associated with the transaction based, at least in part, on the identification of the individual and on a communication protocol associated with the sub-entity;
computer readable program code for causing the computer to use a real-time notification channel to notify the individual of receipt of the correspondence item based, at least in part, on the identification of the individual and on the communication protocol; and
computer readable program code for causing the computer to use the real-time communication to notify the individual of the failure;
wherein the real-time notification channel is a user-defined or system-set notification channel.

Abstract
Apparatus for electronically notifying an individual of an incomplete transaction associated with a received correspondence item is provided. The apparatus may include a receiver for receiving a single paper correspondence item associated with a first correspondence. The apparatus may include a processor for deriving a digital image from the paper correspondence item. The processor may be configured to determine, based on the derived digital image, whether the correspondence item is a paper check. In response to the determination of the correspondence item as a paper check, the processor may be further configured to use a real-time notification channel to notify the individual of receipt of the paper check. The notification may be based, at least in part, on the identification of the individual. The processor may be further configured to use the real-time notification channel to present at least one option for identification of an account to which the check should be applied.
