Partners Life has updated its list of acceptable electronic signature providers saying it’s received a number of requests from financial advisers asking for clarification on the acceptance of electronic signature services.
In a statement this week, the company says electronic signature services provide a safe, auditable means for clients to sign documents digitally and confirmed it will accept documents signed using the following services:
- 2Shakes
- RightSignature
- DocuSign
- AdobeSign
- HelloSign
- NitroSign
- Formstack
- DocHub
- PandaDoc
Partners Life says if a submitted document does not display the electronic service used then it may request further information, such as the document’s audit trail, to be certain it was signed using one of its approved services.
It also says Memorandum of Transfer forms cannot be signed using electronic signatures and the firm still require a physical signature on these forms.
