Document Management | E-Signature
Signed inside the workflow. Valid under the Electronic Transactions Act.
Contracts, NDAs, service orders and internal approvals signed where the work already happens rather than in a separate tool. An ordinary electronic signature carries most of what a finance team signs. Where the counterparty or the document warrants it, a secure electronic signature adds the stronger evidential position. Every signature carries its trail.

Compliance + integrations
Valid is the easy part. Knowing what is excluded is the useful part.
The Electronic Transactions Act treats an electronic signature as valid for most commercial documents, which means the interesting question is not whether you can sign electronically. It is which documents the Act leaves out. Those are flagged before signing rather than discovered when someone tries to rely on one.
Regulations we work within
-
Electronic Transactions Act
Electronic records and signatures are not denied legal effect for being electronic.
-
Secure electronic signature
Where a certificate from an accredited authority is used, the stronger evidential presumption applies.
-
Excluded documents
The Act's schedule leaves out certain instruments, including wills and some property dealings. Those are flagged rather than signed electronically.

E-Signature FAQ
What buyers ask.
When is an ordinary electronic signature not enough?
For most commercial documents it is. A secure electronic signature earns its extra step where the amount is large, the counterparty is unfamiliar, or you would rather not be the party arguing about authenticity later. The workflow can require it per document type, so the decision is made once in policy rather than by whoever happens to be signing.
Which documents cannot be signed electronically?
The Act carries a schedule of exclusions covering things like wills and certain dealings in land. Finance teams rarely hit them, but a lease or a guarantee can sit close to the line, which is why the document type is checked before signature blocks are placed rather than after.
Are signed documents admissible?
Electronic records are admissible, and the Act removes the argument that a document fails simply for being electronic. What decides a dispute in practice is the evidence around the signature: who authenticated, when, from where, and whether the document changed afterwards. The platform retains all of it and locks the document on the final signature.
A counterparty overseas wants to sign. Can they?
Yes. They sign electronically like anyone else, or through their own provider with the signature captured back into the record. Where the contract is governed by another country's law, that country's rules on signature decide the question, so the workflow records the governing law alongside the signature rather than assuming Singapore's applies.
