The ID check you need when your important agreements move online

People today are pretty comfortable carrying out sensitive transactions online. It’s great news for businesses that want to make life more convenient for customers. But it can open up a potential can of worms – with the risk of fraud and non-compliance making many business leaders nervous.

To combat these risks, Docusign has built a plug and play platform that allows signers to connect their identification to the agreement process. Called the Docusign Identify Platform, it helps reduce risk of fraud and non-compliance by adding a secure ID check to the signing process. And it’s as customisable as it is secure – you can configure your branding, choose your accepted types of ID and assign the type of signature you need for each agreement.

With Docusign Identify Platform, your Australian customers can use their Aussie driver’s licence when proving their identification on the platform. It also supports other global photo ID and eID schemes if you’ve got international customers. Based on their selected country, signers choose from a list of ID types and can easily scan and upload their identification into the platform.

It’s all about building trust with your customers and partners, reducing risk and reassuring both parties in an agreement that it’s legally valid and complies with regional standards.
