Vancouver, BC, July 20, 2017--(T-Net)--Central 1 Credit Union (Central 1) announced today that it has partnered with VASCO Data Security International, Inc., a global leader in digital solutions including identity, security and business productivity, to integrate eSignLive™ electronic signature technology into Central 1's new omni-channel member and loan Origination Solutions -- Open Anywhere™ and Borrow Anywhere™.
The eSignLive solution will provide Central 1's credit unions and other financial institutions with the ability to offer paperless account opening and lending experience both in-branch and online by capturing signatures securely and efficiently anytime, anywhere, on any device.
“The integration of e-signatures offers operational efficiencies for credit unions and significantly enhances the user experience for their members,” said Kelly West, AVP Product Management at Central 1. “It's a complete digital experience -- identity can be digitally verified and consent and signatures collected without the customer depositing a cheque or filling out paperwork. They can fund new accounts with Interac e-Transfer®.”
“Central 1's unique partnership with VASCO will provide all credit unions using our Origination Solutions with out-of-the-box omni-channel e-signatures functionality,” said Guy Kutany, Product Director at Central 1. “Participating credit unions will further benefit from attractive pricing for e-signatures.”
