Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for maintaining an updated check register in connection with an online banking account of a payor that tracks pending check payments using check imaging technology. Some embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented method including the following steps: receiving an image of at least a portion of a paper check, wherein the portion comprises an indication of an amount of money to be drawn on a financial account, processing the image to determine the amount, identifying the financial account, and recording the amount in connection with the financial account, wherein the recording step occurs prior to receiving any indication that the check has been presented for payment. In addition, the method may also include making the financial account with an indication of the pending payment available to be viewed by the payor.
