Ruesch International Introduces Check Outsourcing Services for Ruesch Clients

Washington, DC—January 17, 2007—Ruesch International Inc., a premier provider of business-to-business payment solutions that facilitate global commerce, announced the introduction of its check outsourcing service today. This new service will be available in combination with Ruesch’s ePayment Solution platform, or as a stand-alone offering.

With the addition of this new service offering, clients of Ruesch will be able to outsource their entire check print and mail process, thereby avoiding the labor and production costs associated with the in-house printing of checks. Using a web-based application, clients will be able to track the progress of their check runs, generate production reports, and submit print jobs instantly from any location. Address cleansing and postal sorting are additional benefits of the Ruesch program, minimizing postage expenses and expediting processing times.

“We are pleased to bring this important service to our clients,” said John M. Perry, Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing at Ruesch. “Ruesch has been a leader in converting corporate check payments to ACH for some time now with our ePayment Solutions program. Our check outsourcing service will complement that offering and assist our clients to continue to refine and make their business operations more efficient.”
