IMM eSign (formerly known as TotaleAtlas) is setting new standards for eSignature processing and management within the financial industry. At its foundation, IMM eSign is an enterprise-wide electronic document presentment and eSignature platform that manages and maintains an “end-to-end” electronic transaction. Capable of processing any document or form used to conduct business within the financial institution, IMM eSign is comprehensive, designed, and priced to meet the eSignature needs of any-size financial institution.

IMM’s eSignPlus is the fastest, easiest way to streamline your financial institution’s business processes, increase staff productivity, and enhance the consumer’s overall experience—all while reducing operational costs. eSignPlus is highly scalable and provides flexible productivity tools that can automate document and approval processes, with the ability to adapt to the ongoing changes in your financial institution’s business practices.

IMM has been an innovator of digital solutions for financial institutions over the past 25 years. Our technology has allowed institutions to meet or exceed consumer expectations for delivering convenience, ease and simplicity when performing banking transactions. Our classic Digital Receipts solution, IMM eReceipts, has been driving advanced capabilities for receipt technology for many years.

The Credit Union and Financial Services landscape can be as challenging as it is complex. Competition is stronger than ever, while regulations and compliance continue to be a priority for institutions. Yet, many of the documents and transactions generated within credit unions remain paper-based. This complicates the operating environment. Paperbased processing is costly, time consuming, and requires cumbersome policies and management practices — not to mention the impact paper-based processes and transactions have on the credit union member.

The Internet, along with mobile devices, have given consumers great freedom with respect to how and when they can conduct personal business. With this new freedom comes expectations, expectations financial institutions must accommodate in order to meet the needs of the modern consumer. To remain relevant in this competitive market, financial institutions must provide convenience and ease-of-access for their consumers to conduct both personal and professional business “on-demand.”

eSign is IMM’s enterprise document presentment and eSignature platform. As a contemporary technology application, IMM eSign can be customized with a number of standard parameters and options, helping your institution adapt eSignatures to your specific business needs. For more sophisticated or individualized requirements, IMM has also developed a family of add-on modules that extend the value and benefits you can realize from your investment. Contact your IMM Client Success Manager for pricing and further information about these available modules.

To support the needs of our business partners, IMM developed API interfaces that provide enhanced eSignature services and integration capabilities. These standardized interfaces are available to participants in the IMM business partner program as a value added portion of your technology alliance with IMM.

IMM eChecks is an intuitive software solution that generates official and batch checks, where they are printed “ondemand” to laser printers using blank stock security paper. With this eCheck solution, financial institutions eliminate the preprinting of blank check documents, and subsequent stock-control traditionally associated with pre-printed negotiable checks. Once eChecks have been printed— complete with logic controlled authorized signatures —the PDF version of the finalized check along with its associated indexes can be filed directly into any Imaging/ECM system for records archival.

One of IMM’s most-popular eTransaction applications, IMM eReceipts enables the financial institution to generate “digital” or electronic receipts for teller transactions and deliver eReceipts via secure, electronic methods to the member.

Check21 enables financial institutions to process and clear checks using electronic images and data. Now, IMM’s eTeller Check21 solution—an add-on module to the eReceipts platform—enables the institution to truncate the paper check directly at the teller line during the actual in-person transaction. eTeller Check21 enables processing efficiencies to begin earlier while improving the member service and satisfaction provided by this state-of-the-art Check21 processing solution.

Modern technology and internet access provide consumers the freedom to conduct business when and where it’s convenient for them, and from any device that is readily available. These capabilities have become the “new normal” as consumers expect to interact with financial institutions and conduct business in the same manner of convenience as in their personal lives. Are you looking to provide more dynamic and convenient services and experiences to your members? Would you also like to streamline related back-office processes to drive efficiencies and reduce costs?

Selecting an electronic transaction management solution to enhance consumer service, internal governance, or to achieve operational efficiency are just the beginning steps on your road to success. Increased productivity and reduced operational costs can be expected soon after your successful technology onboarding, and live production roll out across your institution.

Electronic signatures or eSignatures provide the most compelling opportunity for banks and credit unions to close the customer experience gap- with use cases extending well beyond the typical examples of account opening and lending. 

We are well into the digital age and yet the flood of paperwork persists. While information can be readily translated into an electronic format, speeding along engagement and distribution highways, the digital process will come to a grinding halt at its most critical juncture: the point at which signatures are required from involved parties to complete business documents and processes. For credit unions, this can be felt in a number of areas and in differing ways.

Credit unions know the longer a new loan or account application remains unsigned the higher the chance of abandonment. Adding electronic signatures to the process increases the opportunity for success.

Business challenges continue to grow for today’s progressive financial institutions. From traditional areas of focus like profitability and growth, to the needs and expectations of a new generation of customers, to alternative types of banking competition — the list continues. Now add in the heightened issues and risks associated with data security, and you gain an appreciation of the daunting elements that make up a banker’s daily business life.

The way banks engage and conduct business with their customers continues to change dramatically. Digital transformation has dominated the discussion, and the banking industry as a whole has acknowledged the strategic role digital has and will continue to play in ensuring a bank remains relevant for years to come. In fact, a 2018 report from Ernst and Young titled Digital Enterprise Transformation indicated that 65 percent of financial executives believed their revenues improved thanks to their digital transformation plans.

Because KTFCU’s membership is education-specific, it takes a selective approach to which new financial innovations to adopt, Underwood said. For example, KTFCU recently added remote signature capabilities from eSignature solutions provider IMM for its members.

Hughes Federal Credit Union was manually sending all of its back office-originated loans (online and outbound call center) to the various branches for funding.

The Tuscon-based credit union even lost loan opportunities with the time to fund a loan stretching into a couple weeks.

Waterloo, Iowa-based Veridian Credit Union continues to grow and add branches into geographically diverse areas. To capitalize on these opportunities required focus on efficiency, cost effectiveness, and notably, compliance.
