Sign legally — from Switzerland, for Switzerland
actaSIGN is the all-inclusive signature platform for Swiss businesses. All three signature qualities (EES, AES, QES), ZertES compliant, data exclusively in Switzerland.
Why Swiss businesses choose actaSIGN
Developed in Switzerland, hosted in Switzerland — with full functionality and personal service.
ZertES compliant with all signature qualities
actaSIGN supports all three ZertES signature qualities: EES, AES and QES. QES is equivalent to a handwritten signature (CO Art. 14 para. 2bis).
Data exclusively in Switzerland
All data is processed and stored in an ISO 27001 certified Swiss data centre. No AWS, no Azure, no Google Cloud.
Cross-border ready
Swisscom Trust Services is on the EU Trust List and Adobe Approved Trust List. Signatures are legally valid in the EU too — ideal for DACH business relationships.
Broad partner network in Switzerland
actaSIGN integrates seamlessly with Swiss DMS and IT solutions. Our local partners offer ready-made integrations and personal support.
Legal framework for electronic signatures in Switzerland
Switzerland has its own legal framework for electronic signatures with ZertES — independent from the EU, but compatible.
ZertES — Federal Act on Certification Services
ZertES governs the recognition of electronic signatures in Switzerland. Swisscom Trust Services is recognised as a certification body by BAKOM and audited by KPMG.
CO Art. 14 para. 2bis — Equivalence with handwritten signature
The qualified electronic signature (QES) is equivalent to a handwritten signature under the Swiss Code of Obligations. For contracts with statutory written form requirements, QES is the legally secure solution.
Freedom of contract and form
Swiss law generally provides freedom of contract. Most contracts can be concluded without formal requirements — EES or AES is sufficient for the majority of business transactions.
Typical use cases in Switzerland
From SME contracts to cross-border agreements — actaSIGN covers the key use cases.
B2B contracts and framework agreements
Supplier contracts, NDAs, service level agreements and framework agreements — digital, fast and legally valid.
