eSignature
Legally binding electronic signatures with configurable authentication options, timestamping, and tamper-evident sealing to ensure executed mortgage quotes meet U.S. ESIGN and UETA standards.
Electronic signatures executed via compliant platforms are enforceable under ESIGN and UETA in the United States when the process records consent and preserves an auditable record; mortgage workflows must also incorporate appropriate identity verification and record retention practices to satisfy regulators.
Loan officers create and send mortgage quote proposals, select templates, confirm borrower data, and monitor signer progress. They rely on integrations to prefill loan details and use reminders to keep borrower interactions timely and documented.
Compliance managers configure templates, approve required disclosures, set retention policies, and review audit trails. They ensure workflows meet ESIGN and UETA requirements and coordinate with legal teams for state-specific rules.
