First Carolina chose LT to provide a proven, user friendly solution to meet their member credit union's ACH origination, management and processing needs. LT's Correspondent Gateway's vast solution set incorporates all ACH functions including transaction origination, reporting and settlement in a single-sign on environment as an enhanced alternative to other systems. The entire solution will be secured by LT's advanced biometric multi-factor authentication system.
