CPCS (Check Processing Control System) is an IBM software product that supports high speed check sorting operations within financial institutions.[3][4] The software works in conjunction with check sorting equipment, such as the IBM 3890.[2][5]

This application is run on the main frame. It receives the data from the document processor and can store information from the cheques, including the bank number, branch number, account number and the amount the check was written for, as well as internal transaction codes.
