To enhance its plan participants’ online experience, Transamerica is offering a new way to notarize an array of documents without leaving home.
Through a collaboration with Notarize, Transamerica is giving participants the choice to either use a digital, secure alternative to in-person traditional notarization, or submit a notarized document rather than a medallion signature guarantee for certain transactions.
“Consumers are searching for more options to complete transactions, which is why Transamerica and Notarize are collaborating to effectively streamline the notary process,” notes Kent Callahan, CEO of Workplace Solutions for Transamerica. “By implementing this new platform, we provide customers with a safe, secure, and fully electronic way to notarize transactions.”
According to the Feb. 10 announcement, customers will receive a link to a custom landing page to create an account and upload forms using any computer or device with video and audio capabilities. They are then connected with a commissioned virtual notary to engage in a multi-factor authentication process. Spanish-speaking notaries will also be available.
Once all documents are signed, the completed document is automatically submitted by the Notarize platform to Transamerica for approval for a nominal fee.
