Description: Over-the-Counter Channel (OTCnet) is a Web-based application that integrates Check Capture and Deposit Reporting functionalities into one system. Created from two legacy systems, Paper Check Conversion Over The Counter System (PCC OTC) and Treasury General Account Deposit Reporting Network (TGAnet), OTCnet`s design accommodates check capture and deposit reporting using electronic collection mechanisms instead of paper based processing.

Please note: Over-the-Counter Channel (OTCnet) contains an OTCnet Local Bridge (OLB) and OTCnet Firmware. The firmware deployed by this software does not require TRM approval on its own, only OLB. OTCnet OLB is handled by its own separate TRM entry.

OTCnet has an Online and Offline Mode. This review covers the Online Mode only, all software is provided through the browser so eligible checks are converted end to end over the internet.
