What Are Electronic Signatures?

Electronic signatures are electronic forms of signature which can be used to legally sign documents and contracts.

Globally acknowledged for their security and reliability, eSignatures have replaced traditional handwritten signatures in many industries. 

Documents signed electronically are typically completed 80% faster than traditional paper-based documents.

Benefits of Electronic Signatures

Efficiency

eSignatures eliminate the need for handwritten signatures and minimise excessive paperwork. Signing electronically speeds up the document signing process and reduces the time it takes to finalise agreements, contracts, and forms.

Legal and Secure

Electronic signatures offer an added layer of security in the form of a digital audit trail. This record automatically captures everything from the signer’s identity and IP address to the date and time of signing, among other things.

Cost-effective

Electronic signatures reduced printing, paper, and postage costs allowing significant savings for businesses. In additional, eSignatures eliminate the need for physical storage space for signed documents, making them great for the environment too.
