Northteq, Inc., a provider of Salesforce origination solutions, announced that Notarize, a leader in remote online notarization (RON) technology, has joined its growing list of fintech partners. The integration of Notarize within Northteq’s Aurora product suite will allow lenders to stay competitive and provide a simple way to help borrowers get their documents notarized securely from any device.

Northteq and Notarize are partnering to support customer needs and the growing demand for remote online notarization. This Salesforce.com integration with Notarize enables RON for document signing and verification purposes, which saves lenders time and money, while also creating a seamless notarization experience for their customers.

Borrowers can sign documents on their mobile or desktop device anytime, anywhere, without having to endure the time-consuming and uncertain process of traveling to and tracking down an in-person notary. Notarize is also an environmentally friendly integration that helps lenders save money on shipping and printing costs, as well as emissions from driving to-and-from in-person signings.

“The addition of Notarize for Salesforce to the Aurora suite of products is another step forward in fulfilling Northteq’s commitment to providing lenders with the most innovative and thoughtfully designed loan origination solutions available today,” said Kristian Dolan, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Northteq. “Our Notarize integration will allow lenders to stay competitive and efficient while also creating a secure customer experience. We’re able to provide a platform to not only sign documents online but have them notarized remotely, eliminating a huge point of friction for customers.”

Lenders are under constant pressure to keep up with rapidly evolving technology to deliver on their customers’ demands and desires, while also ensuring they remain compliant in a complex and vigilant regulatory environment. Remote notarization was invented and started to gain adoption in 2015, and it has quickly become one of the most popular ways to get official documents notarized. 43 states have passed laws allowing their state’s notaries to conduct remote online notarization, and Notarize’s platform makes navigating and complying with state regulations simple.

AP Equipment Financing recently made the switch to use Remote Online Notarization (RON) for Power of Attorney and Bill of Sale documents during their customers’ transaction journey. “Remote online notaries add value to our customers by providing them with a convenient, easy-to-use, and streamlined process for getting their documents notarized without the hassle of having to leave their business or home,” said AP’s VP of Front-End Operations Austin Law, CLFP. “RON aligns with AP’s objective 'The Power of Personal' by utilizing the most effective technologies the market has to offer to expedite procedures and truly focus on our customers, all while lowering AP's carbon footprint.”

“Notarize creates a simpler, smarter and safer experience for borrowers while closing that crucial ‘last mile’ of a transaction, allowing lenders to fund transactions faster,” said Notarize CEO Pat Kinsel. “With this new partnership, Northteq and Notarize continue their commitment to provide equipment finance companies with innovative solutions that redefine the lending experience.”
