American Bank Systems & IMM Partner to Provide Digital Lending Platform for Community Banks

IMM, the only eSignature provider that specializes in eSignature and digital transaction solutions exclusively for financial institutions, announced it has partnered with Oklahoma City-based American Bank Systems (ABS) to integrate IMM eSign with ABS’ CoPilot Loans, CoPilotDeposits Origination Software, BankManager® Tracking and Imaging solutions enabling community banks to electronically process loan and account opening transactions from origination to closing to electronic filing, all in a digital environment. ABS also provides advanced technology solutions that help assess, monitor and lower compliance risk of financial institutions.

“Community banks that embrace digital transformation have a unique opportunity to expand their reach and attract new customers without necessarily adding any new resources to more effectively engage current customers, building richer relationships and brand loyalty,” said Tom Ryan, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Alliances for ABS. “IMM shares our vision to equip community financial institutions with modern digital technology needed to be successful in today’s banking marketplace. Together we’ve created a powerful, yet very intuitive and easy to use lending and account opening platform that dramatically decreases the time required to complete a transaction, streamlines the entire process from origination to closing, and most importantly, provides an enhanced experience to both the bank’s staff and its customers.”

The integration of IMM eSign with ABS’ CoPilot and BankManager solutions eliminates costly delays by automating the entire loan and account opening process and providing bank employees immediate, real-time access to concise, compliant documents. Additionally, customers can now access and sign important documents electronically, at a time and place that is most convenient to their schedule.

A key factor in ABS’s decision to partner with IMM was its strong reputation in the banking industry regarding customer service as well as its innovative technology solutions. By integrating IMM’s products, ABS will be able to offer this integration to its current software users and future prospects to help them automate many of their cumbersome paper-based business processes, streamline operations and enhance the overall customer experience.

“Together, IMM and ABS are committed to helping community banks not only survive in today’s digital environment but thrive,” said Michael Ball, vice presidents of markets and strategy for IMM. “Providing bankers the tools needed to process end-to-end digital transactions boosts efficiencies across the entire organization while delivering a modern, convenient experience that today’s digital consumer demands. We look forward to a long-term partnership with ABS, working together to equip banks to succeed today, and well into the future.”

IMM eSign is used by hundreds of banks to power millions of eSignature and digital transactions each month.
