1. How do I start using the Smart forms?
i. Save the Smart form into a local drive. Open the file using Adobe Reader and select the form you require.
ii. To return to the menu page while you are working on the form selected, click on “Main Page” located at the top right hand corner of each application form.
iii. When you have filled up the application form, you may click on “Save” located at the bottom right hand corner of the form. The filled form can then be saved into a desired 'drive' in your computer for future reference or as a template for similar transactions later.
iv. When the form is completed, click on “Print” or “Print to PDF” at the bottom right hand corner of the form.
2. Why am I not able to print the forms?
There are certain mandatory fields that must be completed before you can proceed with “Print” or “Print to PDF”. If any of these fields are left out, you will be prompted before you can proceed.
3. What is e-signature and how do I affix it on the forms?
We can accept electronic signatures on the PDF forms (provided the electronic signatures can be verified against bank’s record).
i. Click “Print” or “Print to PDF” on the bottom right of the last page, choose “Microsoft Print to PDF” as printer type to generate a PDF copy of the application form.
ii. Choose “Fill & Sign” and affix your signature on the sign off page of the application form.
4. With e-signature, do we still need to print out the form to affix the company stamp?
We do not require the company stamp on applications for Service/Transactional request application forms, as long as you have a valid fax indemnity with us, and we are able to verify your e-signature against the bank’s record.
