Same high-performance CRM platform, quicker KYC checks and higher approval rates with e-Signature.

iTech Software introduces e-Signature, a new CRM functionality that speeds up KYC verification checks for brokers and traders. This platform upgrade aligns with the company’s mission to empower brokers with agile back-office solutions. This capability is fully integrated with iCRM and the back-office system, accelerating onboarding and KYC compliance processes and streamlining compliance management.

In the long term, it helps brokers save time and resources on automatable compliance tasks, allowing them to focus more on growth, as they can keep traders engaged for longer. In turn, traders will enjoy a smoother onboarding experience and seize opportunities much faster.

Improved speed at a pen’s stroke

Thanks to the e-Signature upgrade, traders can now electronically sign documents before uploading them to their profile. They can do so even while trading, as this feature allows them to sign their verification documents without having to navigate out of the trading platform or print or scan documents.

Similarly, brokers can upload documents they generate to the CRM and let their clients sign them electronically. Once a document is generated, traders are able to review it directly in the trading platform and e-sign it with a simple button press. All the documents e-signed by traders are automatically uploaded to the CRM.

For faster processing, an automated field recognition feature has been added to the platform. This feature enables text recognition in KYC documents and text-to-text conversion in the back-office system. This means that when traders upload their ID documents, the system can recognise text and render it as text in the back office for compliance teams.

The e-signature upgrade follows a stack of notable improvements, including multicurrency accounts functionality, savings accounts, and asset bundles launched earlier in the year.

The innovation and its immediate benefits

Improved KYC verification and fully automated data handling for brokers and clients are only some of the core benefits associated with the newly introduced e-signature features. By eliminating human intervention, the online signature functionality significantly improves the onboarding speed. Processes that used to take hours or even days in some cases are now completed in seconds.

For brokers, this level of automation simplifies workflows and reduces the risk of potential human errors associated with manual processes. An integral part of the automated KYC compliance module of iTech’s CRM, the sleek online signature functionality improves efficiency while offering traders a smoother onboarding experience.

“Traders demand speed and efficiency. In the background, brokers are faced with the challenge of balancing strict AML requirements and creating an environment that is responsive and provides swift connection to the financial markets. With the introduction of electronic signature capabilities, our White Label platform meets these demands,” said an iTech Software spokesperson.

Meet iTech Software at Affiliate World Asia 2025

Scheduled to take place between 3 and 4 December, the event is not only the largest tradeshow and conference dedicated to performance marketers, but it is also the perfect opportunity to network and become familiar with the latest technologies.

The USD is lower as the market shifts back toward a cut in
December. The expectations is now up to around 80% (it was in the 30%’s last
week). The shift came as NY Fed President Williams, Daly and Wallers have
shifted to a cut in December. The thought is that the Fed Chair Powell
would have likely discussed NY Fed Pres. William’s speech and would therefore be shifting the bias that way ahead of the December 10 rate decision (William’s is the NY
Fed President and as such has more influence than the other Presidents).

The chip space is in flux after reports that Google and Meta
are in talks that could shift major AI workloads away from Nvidia and AMD
toward Google’s custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), sending Nvidia and AMD
shares lower in early trading.

According to The Information, Google has begun pitching TPUs
to large customers—including Meta and major financial institutions—with Meta
considering a multi-billion-dollar investment to deploy TPUs in its own data
centers by 2027 and potentially renting TPU capacity from Google Cloud as soon
as next year.

The news fueled concerns that Google’s Gemini AI platform
could intensify competition for OpenAI—an important SoftBank investment—driving
SoftBank shares down sharply. Adam wrote about this last week after Gemini 3.0
was released “Google proved that you don’t need Nvidia and so much more“,
and it seems it IS doing a good job (see pic below).

While Nvidia and AMD slid on fears of reduced GPU demand,
Google and Broadcom—Google’s TPU fabrication partner—traded higher as investors
reassessed competitive positioning in a rapidly shifting AI hardware landscape
where Nvidia still leads but faces growing pressure from specialized rivals.

No changes to the initial estimates as the German economy grinds to a halt in the third quarter this year. Amid more stubborn price pressures as well, stagflation risks are a consideration as we look towards the turn of the year for Europe’s largest economy.

There aren’t any major expiries to take note of on the day, with the full list seen below.

As such, trading sentiment will continue to revolve around the risk mood for the most part although major currencies remain relatively muted still on the week. Traders might be winding down towards the Thanksgiving holidays but keep in mind that month-end is also approaching and that could stir up some flows before the end of the week.

In any case, the pound will be a key highlight in trading tomorrow as outlined here earlier. So, there is at least something to look out for this week.

Credit Agricole’s fixing model points to “mild USD buying across the board” this month-end, owing to the rebalancing performance amid broad equity declines, combined with FX-adjusted market cap effects. Of note, the firm says that the strongest signal is for dollar demand against the loonie. As such, the model suggests long USD/CAD to be the month-end flow that stands out this time around.
