This article explores how NetNow eSignatures make credit approvals faster, more secure, and legally binding, enhancing security and compliance in the credit management process.

eSignatures Are Legally Binding

Electronic signatures have the same legal standing as handwritten signatures under laws such as the E-SIGN Act (U.S.), UETA (U.S.), and eIDAS (Europe). This ensures that agreements signed digitally carry full legal weight, protecting businesses from disputes and providing a seamless approval process.

For credit teams, this means eSignatures offer a fast and legally enforceable way to finalize credit applications. With NetNow, once an applicant signs digitally, the form is complete and ready for review by the credit manager or finance team, reducing delays and paperwork.

Security Is a Priority

Securing sensitive financial transactions is crucial, especially for credit applications containing confidential business and banking information. NetNow prioritizes security by implementing industry-leading protections:

  • SOC II Type 2 Compliance – The highest standard for security and data protection.

  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Email verification, IP tracking, and website domain tracking ensure only authorized users can sign documents.

  • Tamper-Proof Audit Trails – Every document action is logged, ensuring accountability and compliance.

  • End-to-End Encryption – Protects documents from unauthorized access and fraud.

By leveraging these security measures, NetNow ensures that every signed credit application remains confidential, authenticated, and legally valid.

NetNow: A Secure, Compliant, and User-Friendly eSignature Platform

NetNow streamlines the credit application process, making it secure and efficient for credit and finance teams. By integrating eSignatures into our platform, we help businesses:
