Silanis Announces Top 10 North American Bank Selects e-Sign Enterprise Platform












Montreal, QC (PRWEB) July 26, 2011

Silanis, the electronic signature provider to leading financial institutions including BMW Financial Services, US Bank, Stewart Title, 21st Century and Liberty Mutual today announced that a top 10 North American bank has chosen its e-signature solution to meet the bank’s enterprise e-signing needs.

Silanis’ Electronic Signature Process Management (ESPM) solution is identified as a key technology facilitator for the bank’s multi-channel strategy. E-signatures will allow the bank to deliver a seamless and improved client experience across all banking channels. The Silanis e-Sign Enterprise Platform will be initially deployed within the bank’s mobile sales force, a group responsible for the sale of products and services taking place outside of the branch network. The ESPM solution will be implemented with appropriate scalability to enable fast time to market of future deployments to other banking products and channels.

“Silanis e-signature technology has become a highly trusted solution with adoption levels continuing to rise among the world’s largest banks and insurance carriers,” says Tommy Petrogiannis, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Silanis.

“Our technology will allow this top 10 North American bank’s sales professionals to complete a complex transaction in a single meeting, dramatically improving the customer experience while shortening transaction cycle times.”

Petrogiannis further explains that Silanis’ ability to enable an end to end electronic process will significantly reduce out of order transactions, of which the bank attributes more than half are related to missing signatures or information.

Most importantly, through the introduction of the E-Signature Process Management solution, the bank will benefit from a stronger legal position. The Silanis e-Sign Enterprise Platform orchestrates the transaction in compliance with all business, legal and regulatory requirements through the document presentation, review and signing stages of the process. As the entire process is controlled by Silanis’ web-based platform, documents and disclosures are always presented to customers in the correct sequence for electronic review, acceptance and signing, preventing the document package from being returned if it is missing documents, data or signatures. Furthermore, the e-Sign Enterprise Platform captures a record of the web process from start to finish, providing even stronger legal evidence than is possible using pen and paper. Electronically signed documents are immediately available to bank personnel and back-operations for further processing.

E-signatures have become the linchpin in moving complex transactions online and in capturing the strongest legal evidence in highly regulated industries such as banking, insurance, and government.

About Silanis

Silanis’ solutions have processed hundreds of millions of e-signatures since the company was founded in 1992 (50 million in 2010 alone), making it the most widely used e-signature solution. The world’s largest insurance and financial services companies, government agencies, and service providers depend on Silanis to accelerate business transactions and reduce costs while improving compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The company’s on-premise, cloud and SaaS e-signature solutions eliminate manual, paper-based processing to enable e-commerce and e-government transactions to be executed fully electronically from start to finish.

Metro Bank Provide Innovative Approach to Banking and Security

Posted by on January 16, 2011 1 comment

Metro Bank Provide Innovative Approach to Banking and Security











London (Vocus/PRWEB) 8 March 2011

Metro Bank, the first new high street bank in the UK for 100 years, today announced it has enlisted the Trusteer Rapport secure browsing service to ensure its customers are protected and secure in their online transactions with the bank, from the start. Having experienced exponential growth since its launch in July, a key consideration in Metro Bank’s selection of Trusteer is that it is a proven security technology that can scale in a rapid growth environment moving from protecting a several thousand customers one day to millions the next.

Metro Bank brings a fresh approach to banking in the UK.

As a new entrant to the industry, Metro Bank has the perfect opportunity to benefit from the latest technology and business practice. One such area is online banking where it believes it is important not only to secure customers accessing their bank accounts online, but also when they spend online on other websites, with the mindset that providing adequate protection for all of its customers’ online financial transactions is paramount.

Craig Donaldson, CEO, Metro Bank PLC, explains further, “When we launched in July, we wanted to differentiate our services from other high street banks. We take the security of our customers very seriously and that means we have the best security components available. By adding Trusteer to our armory and offering it as a complimentary service to our customers, we can ensure that not only do we provide an unparalleled customer service experience, but also that our customers’ money is completely safe and secure”.

“By selecting Trusteer, Metro Bank has plugged into the biggest financial attack database on the internet and can immediately leverage the experience of the most attacked brands in the world to protect their customers against malware and phishing attacks,” said Mickey Boodaei CEO of Trusteer. “When it comes to being able to detect, analyze, and remove financial threats from customers’ computers Trusteer has proven over and over again that it’s the fastest and most comprehensive technology in the market today.”

Security Begins At Home

Unfortunately, in today’s threat environment, traditional protection methods (firewalls and antivirus software) are inadequate as criminals are continually striving to find ways to circumnavigate them. Zeus is one such example with its ability to morph making it hard for traditional technology to detect. Providing additional security measures helps everyone bank safely online, even those who are not technically savvy, which helps keep costs down. The strength of Trusteer is that it protects customers at their own PC providing a trusted secure access point to the bank, meaning they can transact securely and provides confidence that everyone is protected — bank and customers.

Trusteer Secures Online Banking

When a Trusteer user browses to sensitive websites such as internet banking, Webmail, or online payment pages, the service immediately locks down the browser and creates a secure tunnel for safe communication with the web site. This prevents malware from injecting data and stealing information entered and presented in the browser. Trusteer also removes malicious financial malware it discovers on protected machines. The service is directly connected to the bank and to a 24×7 fraud analysis service. Attempts to steal money from customers are immediately detected by the bank and are blocked using various layers of protection.

Trusteer Secures Online Spending

When a customer uses their bank card to make an online purchase from a computer protected by Trusteer, the Rapport service automatically detects the action and then prevents fraudsters from intercepting the card number and protects any other personal information entered by the user into the webpage.

About Metro Bank PLC

Metro Bank was co-founded by Vernon Hill and Anthony Thomson. It is based on the successful Commerce Bank model that was established by Vernon Hill in the US in 1973. A UK management team worked with Vernon Hill to help bring this model to the UK market.

Metro Bank operates retail hours, not banking hours. It will be open seven days a week (8am- 8pm Monday to Friday, 8am – 6pm Saturday, 11am – 4pm Sunday and bank holidays), every day of the year apart from Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
