Qualified Electronic Signatures via Swisscom for Switzerland

Qualified Electronic Signatures via Swisscom for Switzerland

This integration is available across all paid plans in the EU datacenter.

With Zoho Sign's integration with Swisscom, a leading qualified trust service provider (QTSP) for Switzerland, you can digitally sign documents with qualified electronic signatures (QES). 

Why do we need the Swisscom integration?

ZertES is the governing law in Switzerland when it comes to electronic signatures. The law lays down conditions that need to be met for electronic signatures to be considered equivalent to wet signatures in the Swiss court of law.

Zoho Sign's integration with Swisscom ensures your documents are admissible in court and compliant with the eIDAS and ZertES regulations. Professionals in industries ranging from automotive to real estate can now sign their documents digitally with Zoho Sign.
