In the spotlight - eSignature
What’s eSignature?
eSignature is a set of free standards, tools and services that help public administrations and businesses accelerate the creation and verification of electronic signatures that are legally valid in all European Member States.
Boost your digital transactions
By removing the need for paper to obtain a signature or seal, the solution facilitates the digitalisation of business processes, eliminating the time, costs and risks of dealing with paper formats.
Cross-border legal assurance
eSignature is compliant with the eIDAS Regulation, meaning that it ensures the legal recognition and cross-border interoperability of the electronic signatures and seals produced by solutions based on this building block.
Guaranteed documents’ integrity
With eSignature, you reduce risk of document duplication or alteration. The signer’s identity is bound to each specific document, ensuring that signatures and seals are verified, authentic and legitimate for that document alone
Improved user experience
Shorter approval times, thanks to faster document signing processes, which leads to higher satisfaction rates.
