eSignature platform, Signable, has added Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) to its product range
The move follows research by Signable which found that more than one in five customers in regulated industries were differing levels of signing solution for transactions and other high-trust signing requirements.
Laura Pagani, product manager at Signable, said: “Our customers don’t have one type of agreement or one level of signing requirement. For organisations operating in regulated sectors, different transactions can require different levels of assurance.
“Bringing QES into Signable means we can support more of those higher-assurance requirements without creating a separate process for teams and their customers. It’s about making it straightforward to use the right level of signature for the right agreement.”
Steven Hill, CEO at Denovo, said: “Signable has been a genuine partner to work with: responsive, easy to deal with and quick to understand how Scottish law firms actually work. Our clients picked it up with almost no training, and it has taken the print-sign-scan cycle out of everyday matters.
“The release of qualified electronic signatures is a real step forward for the Scottish legal market. Scots law sets a higher bar for electronic documents that need to be self-proving, and QES is what meets it.
“That opens the door to signing more of the documents that matter, such as deeds, securities and executry papers, remotely, securely and with the evidence firms need. For clients it means less travel, fewer delays and more confidence that what they’ve signed will stand up.”
The move comes as new research suggests the use of QES at Land Registry has “rocketed” in the latest quarter.
