MorganAsh has introduced an e-signature process for the online approval of tele-interview reports after the interview. The service aims to overcome the delay waiting for 'wet signatures'.

Currently, options for sending tele-interview reports to applicants are: to post to the applicant for return with a wet signature; to send to the applicant with the option to make changes and return it, with cover going on risk after a set period of days; or to do nothing and take the risk.

Current Association of British Insurers best practice recommends an interview report is sent to the applicant and a wet signature is received in return. However, to mitigate cost and accuracy downsides, MorganAsh allows applicants to review, modify and 'sign off' their reports securely online.

"Companies will no longer face the difficult choice between speed and compliance. This option is compliant, customer friendly and quick," said Andrew Gething, managing director of MorganAsh.
