Temenos Infinity supports the use of a ScanShell scanner to retrieve data from an applicant's Driver's License or Passport. With this functionality, the system is able to extract the barcode data from an ID scanned at the branch, and automatically populate the information from the ID in the corresponding Applicant fields in an application.
