Digital Signatures
If you don’t offer digital signatures, you can bet your competition will!
The benefits of digital signatures in any document signing process are numerous. Digital signature software can provide you with an accurate, quick and seamless document process that is convenient for both you and your client. You will gain productivity which means increased profits. You’ll offer convenience which means increased customer base.

2. Add in all signers (names and email addresses) and indicate signing order.
3. Indicate signature spots (or apply a template to frequently used documents).
4. Indicate if extra items need to be attached (i.e. driver’s license) and click to send email packet.
5. Signer receives a secure link and pin (pin in an email or pin text to phone)
6. Signer opens documents and signs (uploads any extra items requested).
Document is automatically routed to next signer or back to your institution. Incomplete paperwork is a thing of the past –Signer will be if there are missing signatures or items and document cannot be sent back until complete. Notification is received when document is complete and sent back. Turnaround time from start to finish can be minutes instead of days or weeks. Software is inexpensive, easy to use and administer.

How financial institutions are currently using digital signatures
Any form at all that requires a signature. Examples include: opening accounts, credit card applications, disclosures, loans, student loan applications, auto financing/refinancing, investment products, e-mortgage, credit applications, contracts and more. If you have forms that require signatures they can be converted to electronic forms that use digital signatures. Anything that previously required the client to be physically present to sign can now be completed from any device that connects to the internet.

It’s simple and obvious. When looking which institution to use clients will consider rates, fees, efficiency and most important convenience. Electronic forms and digital signatures are the ultimate convenience and could be deciding factor as to whether or not they choose you. With all these benefits – is there a reason you are not offering them to your clients now?
