Identity Gaps hit every sector differently

Verified Borrowers, Faster Agreements

Loans and account-opening agreements, signed with ink-level legal weight, no branch visit required. The same session that verifies the applicants identity issues the qualified certificate, giving lenders a signed, audit-ready agreement without a separate KYC step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?

The highest tier of electronic signature under EU law: an Advanced Electronic Signature created inside a certified Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) and backed by a qualified certificate from an accredited Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP). It carries the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, automatically, across all 27 EU member states.

Why do I need QES instead of a standard e-signature?

A standard e-signature, a typed name or a checkbox, proves almost nothing about who actually signed. QES verifies the signer's identity first and binds that identity to the signature through a certified process, so the agreement holds up if it's ever challenged, without needing to gather extra evidence after the fact.

Is QES only useful for businesses based in the EU?

No. Any business that signs agreements with EU-based customers or partners, or simply wants the strongest available signature assurance for a cross-border agreement, can use QES, regardless of where the business itself is headquartered.

How does QES support AML and KYC compliance?

QES runs on the same identity verification used for Know Your Customer checks. Document and biometric verification confirm the signer before the certificate is issued. Regulatory frameworks increasingly support higher-assurance digital identity methods for remote due diligence. Under EU AMLR, relevant qualified trust services sit alongside eIDAS-recognised electronic identification as accepted verification routes. QES does not, by itself, make a business fully AML-compliant, but it removes a gap between identity verification and contract execution.

How does the verification and signing process work?

The signer completes identity verification, document check, face match, and liveness detection, inside one session. Once verified, a qualified certificate is issued by an accredited QTSP and the signature is applied immediately, no separate signing tool or second verification round required.

Which countries recognise QES?

All 27 EU member states, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway under the EEA framework. Outside the EU/EEA, recognition depends on local law or bilateral arrangements, though the underlying identity evidence still supports the agreement.

Does the signer need a hardware token or smart card?

No. eIDAS 2.0 allows the signing device to be certified remote software, so the flow runs entirely from the signer's own device, wherever they are.

What happens when eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet roll out?

eIDAS 2.0 introduces the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, with member states targeting availability by December 2026. Shufti's remote signing flow is built on the same remote-software model the EUDI Wallet relies on, so it is positioned to accept wallet-issued credentials as national wallets roll out.

What evidence do I get for every signed document?

The qualified certificate, a trusted timestamp, an OCSP-verified revocation status, the biometric identity verification record from the same session, and a complete signing-session log, ready to hand to an auditor or counterparty.

Can multiple parties sign the same document?

Yes. Shufti supports sequential multi-party signing, where each signer completes their own verification and signing step, with an individual timestamp and evidence record captured per signer.

Why choose Shufti for QES?

Shufti combines identity verification, AML screening, and qualified signing software in one platform, so businesses aren't stitching together separate vendors for onboarding and for signing. The same verified identity that issues the signature also feeds AML and KYC checks, giving compliance teams one connected record instead of two.

Prove The Signer Is Real Before The Qualified Signature Is Binding

Verify the signer, issue a qualified certificate and capture a legally binding signature in one connected flow. Talk to the Shufti team about bringing QES and AML/KYC verification into onboarding and contract journeys across global operations.
