In this podcast, Alttaf Hussain and Valentina Dotto of Yoti join host David Opie to discuss electronic and digital signatures.
At a time when the digitisation of legal services is under scrutiny, Alttaf and Valentina discuss the various types of electronic and digital signature available and walk us through the terminology.
They also provide some guidance and user cases around when it is most appropriate, and compliant, to use them.
With cyber crime and fraud on the rise, technology providers are also under pressure to stay a step ahead of criminal organisations who seek to take advantage of weaknesses in new developments.
Beyond the compliance and technology challenges, of digital and electronic signatures have the potential to smooth the conveyancing transaction and "remove friction," ultimately improving the client experience, according to Alttaf.
Listen in to hear more thoughts on the wider adoption of digital and electronic signatures.
