Esquire Bank and USAA Sign RDC Patent Licensing Agreement

SAN ANTONIO – USAA and Esquire Bank have entered into an agreement that provides Esquire a license to more than 151 USAA patents covering remote deposit capture (RDC) technology. Under the license, Esquire may continue offering its customers the convenience of easily depositing checks with their mobile device.

“USAA is proud of our record of innovation, including remote deposit capture technology that has made banking easier for our members,” said Nathan McKinley, USAA vice president and head of Corporate Development. “And under the licensing agreement, we’re pleased that Esquire customers will benefit as well.”

USAA has multiple RDC license agreements in place with banks and credit unions and has noted software vendors cannot provide any license to USAA’s patents. “Banks are acknowledging USAA’s patent rights,” McKinley added. “Our licensing team is working directly with banks and credit unions to create reasonable licensing agreements that benefit their customers.”
