Why has eSignature become essential in banking?
Banks and financial institutions manage large volumes of contracts and regulatory documents daily: account openings, loans, financial services, property valuations. Paper-based signing delays slow down customer journeys, complicate internal management and increase the risk of errors.
Electronic signature enables banks and financial institutions to accelerate customer onboarding, streamline underwriting journeys and secure every contractual commitment.

Simplify every step of your banking processes
Which banking documents can be signed electronically?
Tailored to every banking role
Why is electronic signature valid in banking?
Electronic signature benefits from legal recognition at European level through the eIDAS regulation. It produces legal effects provided it allows the signer to be identified, ensures document integrity and establishes a reliable link between the person and the signed document.
In the banking sector, it can be used to formalise:
- Account opening
- Credit contracts
- Financial services contracts
- Regulatory processes
The choice of signature level (simple, advanced or qualified) depends on the level of risk, internal compliance requirements and the sensitivity of the contract.
Secure your processes against document fraud
The banking sector is particularly exposed to fraud and identity theft risks. Electronic signature, combined with identity verification and enhanced authentication mechanisms, allows customer journeys to be secured and compliance with regulatory requirements to be strengthened.
