  • The challenge

Signers dropping off due to manual verification?

Stricter QES requirements under eIDAS 2.0 mean video calls, in-person checks, and document uploads before a user can sign. By the time identity is confirmed, half of them have already dropped off.

Identity is no longer tied to paper or plastic. With global standards like mDL, eIDAS 2.0 and digital wallets, trust now moves at internet speed.

Identity verification enters a new era
— instant, trusted, reliable.

Tightening regulatory mandates

eIDAS 2.0 requires QES providers to support national eIDs and EUDI wallets for identity verification — deadlines are closing in.

Users are dropping off

Every extra step between a user and their signature is another chance to lose them. Manual verification kills conversion at the worst possible moment.

Hard to scale manual operations

Every signing request needs staff to verify identity. As volume grows, so does the cost and the bottleneck.

  • How it works
