Case Study

Unlimited

signatures across every branch

Bank-wide

one platform for every department

Fixed cost

for 3 years, whatever the volume

The customer is a major bank in its East African market, with an extensive branch network serving retail and business customers. As part of its digital banking programme, it went to tender for an enterprise signing platform that could be used across the whole bank.

The Challenge

A bank with a large branch network signs huge numbers of forms, agreements and internal approvals, much of it still on paper.

Paper across branches

Account forms, loan documents and approvals moved between branches and head office on paper.

Unpredictable volumes

A per-transaction model would make costs hard to forecast as adoption grew across the bank.

Bank-wide scope

The platform had to support many departments and workflows, not one pilot use case.

The goal
One bank-wide signing platform, with no limits on transactions or workflows.

The Solution

The bank ran a competitive tender. All four vendors in contention bid eMudhra's emSigner as their solution, and the bank selected emSigner Enterprise.

Unlimited transactions

A three-year licence with unlimited signing transactions, so costs stay predictable as usage grows.

Unlimited workflows

Departments build their own approval and signing flows without extra licensing.

Implementation & integration

The platform was implemented and integrated with the bank's systems.

Audit-ready signing

Every signature is time-stamped and recorded for compliance and dispute resolution.
