GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – As Volunteers in Service prepares to celebrate 20 years in business, United Bank donated a check for $2,000 to benefit their cause.
The organization, established in 1986, is a non-profit Christian based organization that works to provide care and support for suffering people within the community. Volunteers work to provide not only support, but a network to welcome people that may not have anywhere else to go.
Some of the programs offered by VIS include vehicle donations, minor home repair, ramp building, yard work and food drives. The organization also offers training for people interested in becoming religious leaders in the community.

United Bank of Michigan First Local Bank to Offer New Remote Deposit Technology

Business Customers Can Scan Check Images Right At Their Desktops; Money Will Be In Accounts Instantly
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan – United Bank of Michigan announced today that it will become the first community-based bank in West Michigan to offer business customers Remote Deposit Service. It will be available next month.
Business customers who choose to utilize the service will be provided with a check scanner connected to their own computers. The Remote Deposit process will scan, cancel and deposit check images into their bank accounts in one easy step. The service is one result of the recently passed Check 21 Act, which allows checks to be scanned, transmitted and cleared electronically.
Because the corresponding software is web-based, and integrated into United Bank’s core processing system, customers will not need to install any software aside from the setup software for the scanner.
The Remote Deposit Service reflects United Bank’s position as an industry leader in the area of electronic imaging.
"We are always looking for ways to make it easier for customers to bank with us," said Arthur Johnson, chairman and CEO of United Bank of Michigan. "We already have online banking and a business courier. This is the next logical step. Customers will experience added convenience for their business, more time to submit deposits, reduced expenses, faster clearing, and online confirmation of deposits."
The system eliminates many of the geographic obstacles to doing business with the bank for those who do not live or work near a branch.
