E-Signature
DocuSign is a service provider that allows FIs to request e-signature by sharing the files and documents with the borrower. The digital signatures using DocuSign are used for the Salesforce app with DocuSign Portal. The document shared is primarily generated by document generation services such as CSI for designing the recipient's email address. Signers can be borrowers, co-borrowers, or guarantors. When a request for an e-signature is sent, an envelope ID is generated that indicates the request is sent and the document is acknowledged.
