DocuSign
We continue to implement DocuSign firm-wide for requesting electronic signatures for your documents. The DocuSign system enhances the signing process by significantly reducing the amount of paperwork clutter involved with signing important documents and allows you to access and sign your documents securely from multiple devices and locations. Clients with electronic delivery authorization on file will automatically benefit from the new system. If you would like more information, please contact a member of your service team.
Go Digital
As current circumstances mandate minimal physical contact and result in potential disruptions in mail delivery, we want to remind you of an alternative way to receive important communication from us. We encourage you to set up a secure, online client portal to view reports, send and receive sensitive documents, and keep in touch with your service team. If you would like to get started with a client portal, please reach out to any member of your JFS service team or sign up at www.jfswa.com/go-digital.
