Contact import
Bulk CSV and API-based contact import with field mapping and duplicate detection, enabling rapid onboarding of customer records from core banking systems to signing workflows.

A Branch Manager oversees account openings and in-person verifications, using contact and organization features to ensure documents are routed to the right approvers and that signed records are linked to customer profiles for audits and customer service inquiries.

Banking teams typically using this feature include retail branch staff, commercial relationship managers, and compliance officers handling signed paperwork and contact records.
