Frequently Asked Questions

An electronic signature, or eSignature, is an electronic indication of intent to agree to or approve the contents of a document. On the other hand, a digital signature is one form of electronic signature, and it refers to a specific technology that enables users to ensure the authenticity of the signer and to trust that a signature is valid through the use of a public and private key pair.

Yes, electronic signatures are legally binding in the United States. There are two Acts that establish this legality of electronic signatures – the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN, 2000) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA, 1999).  Both ESIGN and UETA establish that electronic records and signatures carry the same weight and legal effect as traditional paper documents and handwritten signatures stating: A document or signature cannot be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.

DocuSign eSignatures offer bank-grade security and operations. Each electronic signature is unique, documentable, encrypted,and tamper-evident. DocuSign guarantees the confidentiality of all transactions and provides multi-faceted verification of signing events.

No. A DocuSign account is not required to sign a document. However, if you don’t create a DocuSign account, it is critical that you print or download a copy of the documents for your records and save the confirmation email to review your signed document(s) in the future.

If you’d prefer to sign the document by hand, you can print it off from the Forms and Documents page, or we can send the form to you by mail or email. You can then sign it and mail it back to us, or drop it off at one of our convenient branch locations. Contact our Member Service Center at 888.336.2700.
