MICR was developed at IBM to expedite bank check processing.

MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, is a character recognition technology used primarily by the banking industry to facilitate the processing of cheques.
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, or MICR, is a widely used method for printing checks, especially in the North America. It uses a special ink with a high content of iron particles to print characters that are then magnetized by a MICR reading machine. This adds an increased level of security to the checks, because it's very hard to counterfeit this kind of print. MICR, however, has some downside
One major demerit of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition is that it only recognizes a rigid set of characters. Also, MICR devices are costly and non-viable for most SMEs.
