Modernizing Loan Documentation Through Digital Execution

Laptop

A prominent cooperative bank was looking to modernize its loan documentation processes across assets and digital operations. Traditional paper-based stamping and signing workflows were creating delays, increasing operational overheads, and impacting customer experience during loan disbursals.

To eliminate manual bottlenecks, improve turnaround times, and strengthen compliance, the bank partnered with Melento (formerly SignDesk) to implement secure, end-to-end eStamp and eSign solutions, bringing speed, reliability, and operational simplicity to its documentation workflows.

The Challenge

Manual Stamping, Signing, and Workflow Delays

The institution’s loan documentation was heavily manual and paper-driven, causing delayed disbursals, high dependency on branch coordination and couriers, limited visibility into document execution, and elevated compliance risk. These constraints restricted the bank’s ability to scale digital lending while maintaining regulatory rigor.

The Turning Point

Adopting Melento’s eStamp & eSign Platform

By implementing Melento’s digital documentation stack (eSign and eStamp solution), the bank transitioned from paper-heavy workflows to a secure, fully digital execution model. The platform enabled faster loan processing, reduced manual intervention, and ensured compliant execution across all loan documents.
