Julia Bonda, Business Development Director, Europe & UK at Sumsub, commented: “Our QES solution is responding to the growing demand for secure digital verification methods in a landscape increasingly susceptible to fraud. This is a step forward in electronic signatures – with tamper-proof, traceable technology underpinned by world-class biometric verification. It provides our clients with a secure, compliant, and cost-efficient method of completing agreements remotely, from anywhere in the Continent, while remaining fully compliant with all relevant regulations. QES is an innovative answer to an age-old problem, bringing a much-needed solution to businesses”.

This technology is based on Sumsub’s ID capture and biometric verification processes, which ensure that a signature created on qualified signature creation devices (QSCD) can be uniquely linked to and capable of identifying the signatory. QES provides tamper-proof security to detect any changes made to the document after it’s signed.
