Benefits of electronic signatures

‍

Electronic signatures considerably reduce document processing times. Transactions that used to take several days can now be finalised in a matter of hours or even minutes. No longer does a business have to wait for physical signatures or even wait for the time it takes to print a document, sign and scan it back to the sender. Electronic signatures eliminate all this manual, time-consuming work!

‍

What's more, electronic signatures guarantee the integrity and authenticity of documents, reducing the risk of fraud and forgery. Electronic signatures ensure the identification of signatories and preserve the integrity of documents thanks to time stamping and secure tracking.

‍

The electronic signature reduces the use of paper and in some countries is legally recognised as a valid signature, making online transactions and administrative processes more secure against the risk of fraud.

‍

‍

Are there different types of electronic signature?

‍

Electronic signatures can be defined in three different categories.

‍

‍

1. Simple electronic signature

‍

This is the most basic form of electronic signature. It consists of a set of electronic data attached to, or associated with, other electronic data to identify the signatory and attest to their consent.

‍

The simple electronic signature can be used in a variety of contexts. These include commercial contracts, authorisations for financial transactions, bank transfers, online payments and loan applications. Notably in employment contracts, electronic payslips and holiday authorisations.

‍

Note that the validity of the electronic signature may vary according to local laws, and some documents may require higher levels of security.

‍

‍

2. Advanced electronic signature

‍

The advanced electronic signature is a more secure form of electronic signature. It is based on an electronic certificate issued by a recognised certification authority. This certificate is uniquely linked to the legal person holding it, and is used to create an advanced electronic signature.

‍

‍

3. Qualified electronic signature

‍

The qualified electronic signature is the most secure and robust form of electronic signature. It is based on a qualified electronic certificate issued by a qualified certification services provider.

‍

The qualified electronic signature is considered to have a legal value equivalent to that of a handwritten signature.

‍

‍
