I guess if the customer could receive emails on their cell phone, pull them up, review the documents and respond that consent would be considered. It would have to be on their device - not the bank's
This was the idea that I had. Most people in our offices have cell phones but since we aren't offering online account opening, have no choice but to come in person. As we roll-out online account opening, I'm looking for a temporary method to bridge the gap and stay in compliance. But it seems as though it won't be easy and may be messy for those that don't give consent and we have to provide paper anyways.
Now that email and e-statements are decades old, it seems to e-sign act needs an update.
