Reduce costs and risks with Electronic Signature

Electronic signature solutions offer a fast and secure way to sign contracts, manage legal documents and do transactions in a highly digital world. Digitizing the signature process provides better user experience and helps reduce costs and risks.

New legal framework as a
growth driver

In the last few years, the electronic identification and signature have been established and regulated. The EU regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions, eIDAS, and the Swiss Federal Law on the electronic signature, ZertES, are a strong growth driver for electronic signature.

QES as a
legal evidence

The digital signature standard with the highest assurance level and legal value is known as the Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) standard. When digitally signing a transaction or contract, a QES is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature in all EU countries, where the regulation is enforced.

Real-time and
global availability

Agreements are available at all times to all signatories through a dedicated user portal. Anyone authorized to sign an agreement can do it from anywhere around the globe.

Partner of Swisscom Trust Services

Swisscom Trust Services is the only European provider to offer a qualified electronic signature in the legal areas of the EU (eIDAS Signature Regulation) as well as Switzerland (ZertES Signature Act). As the leading provider of trust services in Europe, Swisscom Trust Services enables its partners to deliver pan-European digital innovations by providing identity-based services that can be completely digital without media disruption. To do this, users first need to be uniquely identified and registered. Companies can provide this flexibly via several channels with the Smart Registration Service (SRS), for example SRS Video, SRS Bank or SRS Direct. They can then use the Signature Service to add an electronic signature to their business solutions - naturally taking into account industry-specific requirements and compliance regulations. This enables the customer-friendly digitization of processes that are subject to the written form requirement. Swisscom Trust Services AG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Swisscom, the leading telecommunications company in Switzerland.
