Which documents does my client need to sign?
CodaBox needs 2 documents completed and signed by your client, to be authorised to provide the CODA service:
- The Bank Mandate: the Company agrees that CodaBox can collect the account statements in digital format (CODA) from the bank.
- The Teletransmission Mandate: the Company agrees that CodaBox can deliver the account statements in digital format (CODA) to the accountant.

Delivering the mandates to your client yourself? YES, VIA MYCODABOX!
Delivery method?
Depending on the bank, you can:
- Download (in PDF format) the teletransmission mandate or the full mandate and send it to your client for signature.
- Send a SignHere or Twikey link to your client for signing the documents digitally
Note: The SignHere and Twikey options are only available if the status of the mandate in MyCodaBox is 'In Preparation', 'Sent to Client' or 'Available Online'.
How to deliver the mandates to your client via MyCodaBox?

- After a transfer to your office, it is possible that your client already has an active bank mandate, in which case he/she does not need to sign any more bank mandates.
- If it is a KBC/CBC bank account, it is possible that the account is already active, because the client has already activated the CODA in his KBC/CBC
What does CodaBox send to your client?
If CodaBox takes care of the mandate management:
We send an e-mail to your client to retrieve the signed documents.
From now on, in order to reduce the number of administrative documents sent, we only send the necessary.

CodaBox knows your client's e-mail address: We send him/her a reminder e-mail
If you have chosen to delegate the management of your mandates to us and if we know your client's e-mail address, we will send a reminder e-mail to your client, if he/she has mandates with the following status:
- Sent-client + Sent by e-mail to your client: The client has received his CODA mandate but has not signed it.
- Bank procedure +Your client needs to link each bank account in his online bank app: This is a KBC/CBC client who has signed the teletransmission mandate but who has yet to activate it in his/her banking application.
CodaBox DOESN'T know your client's e-mail address: Add his e-mail via MyCodaBox
CodaBox sends the mandates by e-mail to your client (if CodaBox takes care of the mandate management).
If your client's e-mail address is not known to CodaBox, the mandate will remain in 'In Preparation' status.
Go to MyCodaBox and look for the mandates in status 'In Preparation' via list of CODA mandates.
Check the mandates that have a 'State date' older than 2 days.
Open the client by clicking on the client code and enter the e-mail address of your client:

- The e-mail address to which the reminder was sent
What does my client receive?
- The object of the e-mail contains the word 'Reminder'
The e-mail contains clear instructions that describe the steps the client needs to take for the activation of the mandate.
