Compliance documents in banking typically require legal signatures due to stringent regulatory requirements and the need for thorough verification. These documents often involve multiple layers of approval to ensure all actions meet legal, financial, and operational standards.

The conventional process of handling compliance documents can be complex, susceptible to mistakes, and time-consuming. BoldSign simplifies and streamlines the handling of compliance documents, making the entire process more efficient and secure.

Key features of BoldSign for compliance documents

BoldSign offers features that streamline the process of obtaining signatures on compliance documents. 

Customizable templates

Compliance documents often require careful attention to detail and adherence to regulatory standards. Regularly creating these documents by hand can lead to errors or inconsistencies.

Banks can use BoldSign’s template feature to streamline their compliance document processes. Create standardized, reusable templates for various regulatory forms, such as KYC and AML documents. This feature allows for the efficient preparation and customization of documents, ensuring consistency. By eliminating the need to draft new documents from scratch, banks save time, reduce errors, and  maintain adherence to regulatory standards.

Multi-signer functionality

Compliance documents often require validation from multiple stakeholders, such as legal teams, financial officers, and external regulators. This process can be lengthy and lead to potential delays when handled manually.

With BoldSign, banks can use the multisigner feature to add as many signers as needed. Documents can be sent to signers either sequentially or simultaneously, depending on the specific needs of the process. By utilizing this feature, banks ensure a structured and organized signing process, reducing delays and minimizing errors.

Multilanguage support

Miscommunication or misunderstandings due to language barriers can lead to mistakes, setbacks, and even regulatory issues, which can have serious legal and financial consequences.

BoldSign’s multilanguage support is important in this context, as it supports 15 signer languages, enabling banks to serve a wider range of clients comfortably. This feature allows banks to customize the language for each signer, ensuring clear communication and understanding.

Live tracking and instant alerts

Manual tracking methods and lack of real-time visibility can lead to delays, missed deadlines, and incomplete compliance processes.

BoldSign offers real-time document tracking and alerts to streamline this. Banks can monitor the progress of each document as it moves through the approval process, with instant updates on who has viewed, signed, or completed it. Automated alerts and reminders can be configured to notify relevant signers about pending actions or upcoming deadlines, ensuring that no step is overlooked, and helping documents to be completed and submitted promptly.

Top-level security with advanced encryption

A common challenge in handling compliance documents in banking is safeguarding sensitive financial and personal information against unauthorized access and potential breaches. Compliance documents often contain confidential data that must be protected to prevent identity theft, fraud, and legal issues.

BoldSign employs AES-256 encryption, one of the strongest encryption methods available, to protect customer information from unauthorized access and cyber threats. This ensures that all data is secure throughout the document’s lifecycle.

Compliance with regulatory standards

Noncompliance can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines, sanctions, and reputational damage.

BoldSign adheres to stringent regulatory standards, including SOC 2®, GDPR, and HIPAA. This compliance ensures that all documents processed through BoldSign meet the highest security and privacy standards, providing peace of mind for both the bank and its clients.
