E-signature Vendors
As more business transactions are being captured and completed electronically, e-signature capabilities have become a necessity in the financial services industry to make transactions operationally more efficient. While many financial professionals and their clients prefer to meet in person, we realize it’s not always feasible to do so.
To accommodate the time constraints of you and your clients, we accept e-signature solutions to help you easily execute and expedite applications. Several companies offer technology enabling individuals to provide e-signatures on any device with internet access to quickly and securely complete applications and obtain approvals using identity authentication measures (e.g., use of PIN or unique login username and password) in conformance with compliance requirements.
Before using e-signature technology, please make sure you adhere to your firm or broker-dealer’s requirements and follow the rules and requirements necessitated by any approved sales platforms and software products. To submit e-signatures to Security Benefit, your firm must have a license with a platform/service as well as a license from one of the approved e-signature vendors listed below.
We accept e-signature applications from the following vendors as long as the audit trail is provided:
- DocuSign — DocuSign.com
- FireLight — InsuranceTechnologies.com
- SIGNiX — SIGNiX.com
