Thank you to everyone who responded to my query about sending
depositors' receipts by e-mail. In case anyone is interested, here is a
summary of the responses:
One service accepts scanned receipts sent by e-mail. This is where the
depositors have printed and physically signed a receipt, then scanned
and e-mailed it back. They have not yet accepted any form of electronic
signature. They have observed a quicker turn-around than with posting
paper copies.
One service occasionally accepts electronic paperwork, particularly
where the depositors are overseas. They generally ask depositors to
print, sign, scan, and return. If that is not possible, they
occasionally accept an electronic signature and ask that the covering
e-mail confirms it is the depositor's signature.
Another service replied to say they send some documentation and letters
electronically but not (yet!) depositors’ receipts, because these are
legal documents.
Hope this is of some help. Thank you again.
