BankOnHold/Works24
PREMIER Bankcard says, “From start-up to implementation through everyday use, one couldn’t find an easier and more effective marketing and informational tool to reach your captive on-hold or in-queue audience. The professionalism of the BankOnHold team, recording quality, ease of use and the customer service are unbeatable!” Although no one intends for their customers to be placed on hold – it happens. In fact, many banks that originally did not think their short telephone hold times could possibly justify the use of the service found it to be one of the best marketing tools they use. BankOnHold is the leading provider of on-hold phone messaging and music services exclusively for banks and financial institutions.

Thumbprint Signature Program
The Thumbprint Signature program works as a natural deterrent to check fraud. People wanting to cash a check are asked to place an impression of their thumbprint on the face of the check. A small "inkless" touch pad facilitates the process. Although the touch pad looks and operates just like a traditional inkpad, it leaves no stain or residue on users or clothing. The procedure is quick, simple and clean. These signatures are used by law enforcement officials only in cases where fraud is suspected.
