Wells Fargo Company announced today that it had become the first major financial services company to natively support Macs for remote deposit capture. The new service is available to all Wells Fargo Commercial Electronic Office® Desktop Deposit® users who connect Panini scanners with iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, and Mac Pro computers. Installation of a plug-in is only needed to begin scanning deposits. The Desktop Deposit service, a proprietary Web-based remote deposit service does not require a software download.

More than 21,000 Wells Fargo customers have deposited 450 million checks worth $1.4 trillion through the Desktop Deposit service since its launch in 2005. Enrolment and items deposited have soared by double-digit percentages each year since, and Wells Fargo claim to be No. 1 in remote capture volume and locations for 2011.
