Electronic Consent (E-Consent) Agreement

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

Introduction

By clicking “Submit,” checking the consent box, or otherwise completing and submitting an application on www.asbnow.com you consent to receive electronic disclosures, notices, records, and signatures related to your application and any offers from third-party lenders. This Electronic Consent  Agreement explains what you are agreeing to, how electronic delivery works, and how to withdraw or change your consent.

When you provide e-consent you are agreeing that:

  • You can access and retain electronic records in the formats described below.
  • Electronic communications (email, SMS/text, and messages delivered through the Site) are an acceptable and effective method for providing disclosures and notices.
  • You understand that ASBNow is a connector/lead generator and that many documents you receive will come directly from third-party lenders; requests for paper copies of lender documents must be made to the lender, not ASBNow.

This agreement is an electronic record and your consent has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature to the extent permitted by law.

Electronic Delivery of Disclosures and Notices

We and our lender partners may deliver required disclosures, notices, contracts, adverse action notices, and other documents electronically to the contact information you provide (for example, the email address or mobile phone number on your application).

Typical methods of electronic delivery include:

  • Email (PDF or HTML attachments or links).
  • SMS/text message with a secure link.
  • A secure portal or message center on the Site controlled by ASBNow or a partner lender.

What you may receive electronically:

  • Loan offers and related terms.
  • Privacy notices and consent confirmations.
  • Adverse action notices or loan denials (if provided by a lender).
  • Receipts, payment schedules, and servicing notices (when applicable).
  • Any other legally required disclosures connected to your application.

Some lenders may communicate directly with you after receiving your application and will use the contact information you provided. Those communications and any subsequent lender documents are governed by the lender’s own disclosure and delivery practices.

Requesting Paper Copies

You have the right to request a paper copy of any document a lender provides to you electronically. Important points:

  • Make the request to the lender that sent the document, not to ASBNow. We facilitate connections but do not originate loans.
  • A lender must provide a paper copy in accordance with applicable law; the lender may require verification of identity before delivering paper records.
  • If you prefer paper copies from the outset, you should notify the lender directly as soon as you are contacted by them.

If you need help identifying the lender contact information, email email@asbnow.com and we will assist in locating the lender’s contact if possible, but we cannot force a lender to provide a paper copy or act as the lender’s agent for record delivery.

Withdrawing Your Consent

You may withdraw this E-Consent at any time. However, withdrawing consent has consequences:

  • Effect on your application: If you withdraw consent before a lender has received your application and processed it electronically, your application may be cancelled or delayed. In many cases, withdrawing consent will prevent further electronic processing and may cause your request to be closed.
  • How to withdraw: To withdraw consent for ASBNow communications, contact us at email@asbnow.com and clearly state that you are withdrawing your electronic consent. Include the name and email/phone used on your application. To withdraw consent to receive electronic communications from a specific lender, you must contact that lender directly.
  • Timing: A withdrawal is effective after a reasonable period needed to process the request; it will not affect disclosures or communications already sent while your consent was in effect.
  • Consequences: If you withdraw consent and then later want to proceed with electronic processing, you may be required to re-submit your application and provide fresh consent.

Hardware and Software Requirements

To receive, access, and retain electronic records, you must have the necessary hardware, software, and Internet access. Minimum recommended requirements:

Notes and tips:

  • If a document is provided as an HTML page or secure portal, you must be able to access the Site with a compatible browser and, in some cases, enable cookies or JavaScript.
  • Some lenders may require additional software (for example, a mobile app) to view certain documents, those requirements will be communicated by the lender.
  • If you lack the necessary hardware or software, request a paper copy from the lender. See Requesting Paper Copies above.

How Electronic Signatures Work (E-Sign Act / Electronic Records Agreement)

By consenting electronically, you agree that electronic signatures, checkboxes, typed names, and other electronic actions you take on the Site constitute your signature, authorization, and intent to be legally bound, to the extent permitted by the E-SIGN Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and other applicable law.

Electronic records may be retained in electronic form. You have the right to receive paper copies from the lender; see the section above for how to request them.

Security, Retention & Storage of Electronic Records

We and our partners take commercially reasonable steps to protect electronic records while they are under our control. Typical protections include:

  • Transmission protections (for example, SSL/TLS).
  • Secure servers with restricted access.
  • Authentication and verification for portal access.

Retention:

  • Electronic records will be retained for the period required by applicable law and in line with lender and service provider document retention policies.
  • If you would like a copy of your records, request them from the lender or contact email@asbnow.com for assistance in locating the appropriate contact.

ASBNow is not the lender; lenders set their own retention and destruction policies for loan documents.

Updating Your Contact Information

To ensure you receive electronic records and lender communications, keep your contact information current.

How to update:

  1. Update your information on the Site or in your account if such tools are available.
  2. Notify ASBNow at email@asbnow.com with your name, application details, and updated contact info.
  3. Inform any lender that has already received your application directly, changes communicated to ASBNow may not propagate to lenders that already have your record.

We are not responsible for communications sent to contact information you provided before updating it.
