Financial services firms operate in one of the most regulated industries in the world.

Missing a single required element can lead to fines, audits, and reputational damage. Scribe lets financial firms deploy compliant email signatures across their entire organization in under a day. Automatically include required disclaimers, NMLS numbers, registration details, and other regulatory information in every signature, across all devices and email platforms. No individual setup, no IT tickets, and no risk of employees sending emails without the proper compliance elements.Documentation Index

Why compliance matters in email signatures
Regulatory bodies like FINRA, the SEC, state banking departments, and insurance commissions require specific disclosures in business communications. Email is one of the most common forms of business communication in financial services, and signatures are where these disclosures live. When email signatures are managed manually, compliance gaps are inevitable. An advisor forgets to update their registration number. A new hire starts sending emails before their signature is set up. A loan officer’s NMLS number is missing from their mobile email app. Each of these situations creates compliance risk. Scribe eliminates these risks by centralizing signature management. You define the compliance requirements once, and every employee’s signature includes them automatically, on every device and every email client.What financial firms need in their signatures
Disclaimers and legal notices. Most financial firms are required to include confidentiality notices, regulatory disclaimers, or compliance statements in their emails. With Scribe, you add these once to your signature template and they appear in every email sent by every employee. NMLS numbers. Mortgage lenders, loan officers, and mortgage brokers are required to display their NMLS (Nationwide Multistate Licensing System) number in all business communications. Scribe’s smart fields let you assign individual NMLS numbers to each employee, so the correct number appears in each person’s signature automatically. Registration and license numbers. Insurance agents, financial advisors, and brokers often need to display their individual registration or license numbers. Smart fields handle this on a per employee basis without manual input. Firm branding. Beyond compliance, your email signature reinforces your firm’s brand. Include your logo, brand colors, office locations, and contact information in a consistent format across the entire organization. Social media and website links. Direct contacts to your firm’s website, LinkedIn page, or client portal. Make it easy for prospects and clients to find you online.How Scribe ensures compliance across your organization
