I was just wondering what other banks are doing with their work after they scan it for remote deposit capture.

How long are you retaining the physical documents? How are you securing the work until it is destroyed? In other words, in a locked cabinet or room with limited employee access; behing the teller line in a box, etc.?

We keep all scanned work for 6 months in a locked room with limited employee access.

The main reason my current bank keeps the checks for so long is because they want the originals if there is an image problem, piggy-back, etc.
