Simplifying Credit Card Application Signatures using BoldSign
Depending on their preparation and format, credit card applications can present challenges for banks. If applications require in-person meetings for signatures, they become time-consuming endeavors. Banks must coordinate schedules with applicants and manually keep track of each applicant’s documents. On top of these hurdles, compliance concerns arise with traditional paper-based systems. If one part of this process doesn’t go smoothly, customers become frustrated, and banks suffer increased customer acquisition costs and slower processing times.
BoldSign offers an effective solution to these challenges. By digitizing the signature process, BoldSign allows banks to collect signatures remotely, eliminating the need for in-person meetings. It ensures secure management and electronic storage of documents, significantly speeding up the application process, and ensuring compliance with digital signature regulations.
Optimizing credit card applications with BoldSign features
BoldSign offers a suite of features designed to streamline the credit card application process. Here’s how each feature can enhance efficiency:
Credit card application form template
The bank prepares a structured credit card template using BoldSign. These templates are designed to comprehensively gather all the required information from applicants, providing a uniform and smooth process for everyone.
The electronic credit card application forms will include mandatory form fields for personal, financial, and contact information, ensuring consistency throughout all submissions. This standardization of the template form ensures that regardless of the applicant’s identity, every application adheres to the same criteria.
Global reach and language choice for signers
By utilizing BoldSign for credit card operations, banks serving international clients can expand their global presence and offer support in various languages. BoldSign allows for the selection of different languages for each signer during their application process, catering to a diverse customer base’s language needs.

Priority signature sequence with signing order
The signing order feature ensures that documents are signed in a specific sequence, enhancing document organization. This eliminates confusion about who needs to sign when and reduces the risk of missed signatures. Implementing this feature allows banks to establish a structured workflow, streamlining processes and enhancing oversight.
Convenience: eSignatures anywhere, anytime, on any device
Once the bank sends the electronic signature request through BoldSign for the credit card application, the applicant enjoys remarkable flexibility. They can sign their application from anywhere, at any time, using various electronic devices, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, if they have internet access.

The applicant for the credit card application can conveniently review, fill out, and sign the document using BoldSign’s user-friendly interface. Upon receiving an email notification, the applicant clicks Review and Sign in the email to navigate to the document signing page where they can thoroughly review all the details of the credit card application form.
Customization of signing experience
BoldSign lets banks enhance their credit card application process by personalizing the signing experience with their logo, color scheme, and custom messages. This branding integration ensures the process reflects their company identity, offering a cohesive and professional experience to applicants.
