Are my banking details safe on DocFilla?

Saved banking details are encrypted before they are stored, under a key that never leaves the server. They are only ever used to fill your own forms.

Can I fill a stokvel or club account form?

Yes. Upload the bank's society or stokvel account form, fill in the club's details, and send each signatory their own copy to complete and sign.

Can DocFilla fill a form that is a photo of the bank's printed form?

Yes. A clear photo of each page is read the same way as a PDF, and the boxes are found from the printed lines.

Fill in a bank account opening form online

Upload the bank's account opening or KYC form and DocFilla fills your identity, address and employment details, one digit per box where the form has boxes. Sign and hand it in.

Account opening, KYC updates and signatory forms want the same identity, address and employment details in slightly different grids. DocFilla puts your details in the right boxes on each one, including the character boxes banks print for ID numbers, account numbers and branch codes.
