Financial Services
KYC, account opening, and loan-app PDFs from one applicant flow.
Your applicant just finished onboarding in your app. SimplyFill turns that JSON into every regulator-mandated PDF — KYC, FATCA, signature card, loan disclosures — and posts them back to your document store.
Account opening is a PDF tax on every new customer.
A neobank or lender has dozens of regulator-required PDFs per account: KYC, CIP, FATCA, W-9, signature card, account agreement, loan estimate, TILA disclosure, ACH authorization. Most teams ship the digital flow then dump the data into a queue for compliance to fill the PDFs by hand. That queue is where customer experience goes to die.
- Compliance fills 10+ PDFs per applicant by hand from your applicant CSV.
- FATCA, FINRA, and state-specific forms have different revisions per year.
- Audit trail lives in a shared drive, not in your app database.
- Multi-region deployments need data residency that most PDF SaaS can’t guarantee.
One applicant payload, every regulator PDF.
Hand SimplyFill your applicant JSON and a list of template IDs; we return a complete envelope of generated PDFs with deterministic IDs you can persist alongside the application record. Audit-trail-ready out of the box.
- Templates for KYC, CIP, FATCA W-8/W-9, signature cards, account agreements, and loan disclosures (LE, CD, TILA).
- Bulk endpoint generates the full opening packet in one request — typical latency under 2 seconds.
- Audit trail per PDF via webhooks: generation timestamp, template version, mapping version, request ID.
- Self-host option keeps applicant data inside your VPC for residency-sensitive markets.
- Multi-region: deploy SimplyFill in the same region as your application database to keep data local.
Why teams pick SimplyFill
Production-ready compliance
Templates track form revisions; every generation event is timestamped and versioned so audit prep is a query, not a project.
Self-host and data residency
Deploy SimplyFill in your VPC so KYC payloads never leave your perimeter. Works in any region your cloud supports.
Scales with onboarding volume
Bulk endpoint handles thousands of applicants per minute on the Scale plan — sized for fintechs in growth mode.

SOC 2 status?
SimplyFill operates under SOC 2 Type II controls (continuous monitoring). The current attestation report is available under NDA — see /security for the full controls map and how to request the report.
Can we self-host for data residency?
Yes. Self-hosted deployments keep applicant payloads inside your VPC and never round-trip data outside your cloud account. See /docs/guides/self-hosted for the deployment guide.
Multi-region support?
The hosted product runs in US, EU, and Asia-Pacific regions; pick the region that matches your application database. Self-hosted deployments run anywhere your cloud provider supports.
Audit trail per PDF?
Every generation event fires a webhook with timestamp, template version, mapping version, request ID, and the resulting file ID. Persist those alongside the application record and audit prep becomes a join. See /docs/concepts/webhooks.
Do you keep up with FATCA, FINRA, and state form revisions?
Yes — each form is a versioned template. Treasury and FINRA revisions ship as new template versions; your code keeps using the same logical template_id while SimplyFill resolves it to the current published revision.
How do you handle PII in the request payload?
Applicant data is processed in memory to produce the PDF and discarded after the response is sent. SimplyFill does not retain the request body. Generated PDFs are encrypted at rest with per-account download URLs.
