Mobile imaging software company, Kofax, recently announced it acquired Softpro, a company that specializes in fraud prevention and e-signature, for $35 million.

As part of the deal, California-based Kofax paid Germany-based Softpro $31.2 million in cash when the transaction closed on Monday. To complete the purchase, it will pay the remaining $3.5 million in three batches over the next two years.

Softpro’s e-signature software, SignDoc, processes 200 million electronic signatures every year, and boasts two major features:

1) Click-to-sign
2) Physical signature capture

With SignDoc added to Kofax’s quiver, services that require a contract, such as account opening, loan or mortgage applications, can be carried out entirely on the digital channel.
