Today’s Credit Play isss…. How to Create the Perfect Credit Application – Part 14: WHY YOU SHOULD USE DIGITAL CREDIT APPS
Speed, convenience, and legibility, are obvious perks of digital credit applications, but these benefits pale in comparison to the REAL reasons you should use digital apps.
You can’t build the perfect credit application without integrating “terms and conditions”, “authorized signatures” and “personal guaranties” … but frequently… those sections can easily get annulled if you still use old school, handwritten credit applications.
You know they signed your app… and THEY know they signed their app, but all the attorney has to say is “Prove it” and that old school handwritten credit application might as well be wallpaper. Every single objection like “not my signature”… “that’s not an original copy”, and… “I didn’t agree to those terms” all get eliminated if you use digital credit applications.
The ultimate credit play here is to design your credit application to meet every validation standard from the ESIGN Act signed by President Clinton. If you want to make your credit application bullet proof… focus on these 3 things.
#1 isss… SIGNER IDENTITY – Authenticate the signor by having them log in or use their email address for access.
#2 isss….. TRACK THE SIGNER – They can’t claim “that’s not my signature” if you have their IP address and geolocation at the time of signing.
#3 isss…. ENSURE DATA INTEGRITY – In simple terms, this is a digital fingerprint generated for your document. It proves that the original document wasn’t tampered with in any way.
When you implement a digital credit application with validation pieces that are irrefutable, no one will ever again, be able to say to you….“I didn’t agree to that”.
