E-Sign - Are You In Compliance?
Thursday, June 24, 2021 | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM | STREAM
The pandemic showed us that now, more than ever, it is essential to be able to perform transactions without being in-person. While it is easier, faster, and cheaper to provide disclosures and execute documents by email, financial institutions need to ensure that they are complying with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-Sign Act”). This two-hour program will discuss the requirements for consent and verification that an institution needs to follow under the E-Sign Act. Register here.
