An “ECM API” is a type of API used to streamline the exchange of information to and from an enterprise content management system.
ECM modernization is the process by which an organization systematically improves its processes, systems, and technology for managing enterprise content. ECM modernization is especially relevant for banks and credit unions due to the large amount of documentation and information that must be collected, retained, and purged.
ECM workflows consist of a series of automated or manual steps to support a specific process with the assistance of enterprise content management software.
An electronic lockbox is a fully automated service that allows businesses to receive and process payments electronically.

An exception in banking refers to any item that requires attention because it does not meet certain predefined requirements.
Financial institutions use exception categories to classify their exception data into easily understandable groups.
Exception comments provide additional context for understanding the circumstances and activity that pertain to a bank’s exceptions. Exception comments can be collected in a variety of ways ranging from handwritten notes to spreadsheets and software.
