FAIRFIELD COUNTY BANK CORP. LAUNCHES NEW
"EXPRESS DEPOSIT" SERVICE 

April 10, 2006 - Fairfield County Bank Corp., which includes the Ridgefield Bank and Fairfield County Bank divisions, has released a new business deposit system called “Express Deposit”. Through the use of a desk top scanner and integrated software businesses will be able to scan checks for deposit in their offices and remit them electronically for credit to their bank accounts.  

This new technology, referred to as Remote Deposit Capture, is both a bank and business benefit of the Check 21 Act, the 2004 legislation, which was designed to facilitate check truncation and foster innovation in the check payment system.  Fairfield County Bank Corp. is one of the first community banks in the state to offer the service.  Express Deposit enables businesses to get their deposits to the bank without having to go to a branch.  This alone can provide operational improvements for any business.  To find out more about Express Deposit, contact us at 203-431-7431 or toll-free at 1-877-431-7431.

Founded in 1871, Fairfield County Bank Corp., a billion dollar community bank, operates 17 offices in Darien, Fairfield, Georgetown, Norwalk, Ridgefield, Rowayton, Westport and Wilton.
