DETROIT, May 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Comerica Bank today announced that it now provides commercial customers with online access to a full year of check and deposit ticket images.

"Customers using Comerica's TM Connect Web or Image Services for viewing paid item images now have the ability to access a full year of check or deposit ticket images," said McCarty. "Such images are typically available only for 90 days in the industry. We are proving, once again, that Comerica Bank is anything but typical."
Comerica's latest offering is especially helpful to businesses facing situations such as the following:
* After a long day in a bottling facility, the owner-manager of a California winery spends the early evening in his office, pouring over copies of checks, looking for one written nearly one year ago.
* A Texas franchise owner suspects possible internal fraud at one of her locations and needs a copy of the deposit ticket to compare against that store's record.
* A Michigan-based treasurer for a mid-sized manufacturing operation laments having to reconcile numerous paper transactions in a short amount of time.
The expanded access to next-day items and historical data provides commercial customers having such issues or problems with a vital research and reconcilement tool.
"We offer our commercial customers several imaging options to meet their particular needs, and help them to manage their businesses more efficiently and effectively," McCarty said.
Such options include support for multiple users at multiple locations, all of whom would have access to the same information at the same time.
"Business customers will spend less time looking for check copies and more time running their businesses," said McCarty. "Their need for check storage facilities also would be greatly reduced."
