ARP/SMS from Fiserv is the leading account reconciliation and positive pay solution on the market, used by more than 40 of the top 100 banks in the United States. It is a comprehensive positive pay and account reconciliation solution that can reduce exposure to check fraud and streamline back-office operations.

ARP/SMS from Fiserv is available in three outsourced models:

  • Hosted Services – the technology is hosted at a Fiserv data center
  • Application Service Provider (ASP) Service – Fiserv runs the application on a Fiserv software platform
  • Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) – Fiserv hosts and runs all aspects of account reconciliation and positive pay services, including exception handling and other back office functions

The solution operates in real-time, allowing financial institutions to significantly reduce losses due to criminal activity. In addition, ARP/SMS significantly improves turnaround time for reconciliation operations by leveraging intra-day processing and posting and real-time correction capabilities.
