Probative value in banking & insurance
The probative value of an electronic signature in finance hinges on three fronts: demonstrating strong customer authentication (DSP2 SCA), proving compliance with the legal deadline (Scrivener, withdrawal, withdrawal rights), and guaranteeing the integrity of the archived contract in case of ACPR/AMF audit.
Certyneo delivers for each signature an audit certificate integrated into the PDF, which groups together technical proofs:
- Identity of the signatory (email + telephone verified by OTP — compatible DSP2 SCA)
- Qualified time stamp of each action (sending, consultation, signature, refusal)
- SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint of the signed document
- IP and rough geolocation of the signatory
- Detailed log of reminders and notifications
- Traceability of the legal period (Scrivener reflection, withdrawal, withdrawal)
This bundle of evidence meets the requirements of article 1366 of the Civil Code, the eIDAS regulation and the supervisory authorities (ACPR, AMF). In case of audit or customer dispute, the audit trail constitutes direct enforceable proof.
DSP2, DDA, Monetary Code and eIDAS compliance
Certyneo complies with the legal framework applicable to banking, insurance and fintech institutions.
Directive DSP2 (EU 2015/2366) — SCA
Strong customer authentication (SCA) requires two of three elements: knowledge (password), possession (OTP telephone), inherence (biometrics). Certyneo natively covers knowledge + possession elements via OTP SMS and email.
Directive DDA (EU 2016/97) — insurance distribution
The insurance distribution directive requires a documented pre-contractual information procedure (DIC IPID, duty of care). Certyneo allows electronic signature of information elements with time-stamped tracing of the moment of delivery to the customer.
Monetary and Financial Code — art. L312-1-1 (account) & L313-14 (credit)
Article L312-1-1 requires a written and prior account agreement; article L313-14 governs the mortgage loan offer with a 10-day reflection period. Certyneo precisely traces the moment of acceptance and the passage of the legal period.
Insurance Code — art. L132-5-1 & L112-2-1
Article L132-5-1 requires prior information for life insurance; article L112-2-1 sets a 14-day withdrawal period for distance selling. Certyneo's advanced signature + qualified time stamp make these periods enforceable.
Frequently asked questions from financial institutions
Can a business account agreement be electronically signed?
Yes, without restriction. Article L312-1-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code requires a prior written agreement but does not prescribe any form. Certyneo's advanced signature (AES) meets DSP2 strong customer authentication (SCA) requirements while precisely time-stamping acceptance.
How to comply with the 10-day Scrivener reflection period on a mortgage?
Certyneo precisely time-stamps the provision of the loan offer and the customer's signature. The audit trail proves unambiguously that the 10-day period (art. L313-34 Consumer Code) was respected before signature — enforceable in case of dispute over contract unenforceability.
Does electronic signature replace handwritten notation in life insurance?
Yes, within the framework of an advanced signature (AES) with audit trail. French case law admits that advanced electronic signature, accompanied by an audit trail demonstrating the customer's knowledge of contractual elements, satisfies the requirements of article L132-5-1 of the Insurance Code.
Is the 14-day withdrawal period enforceable?
Yes. Qualified time stamping of contract signature triggers the withdrawal period under article L112-2-1 of the Insurance Code (insurance) or L222-7 of the Consumer Code (distance financial services). Certyneo traces this period and automatically notifies its expiration.
Does Certyneo integrate with my banking CRM?
A public REST API is available with event webhooks (envelope.signed, recipient.signed, deadline.reached). Compatible with major core banking systems (Sopra, Linedata, Murex) and insurance IT systems (Adelia, Cassiopae) via webhooks or polling.
Les données client sont-elles protégées par le GDPR bancaire ?
Oui. Chiffrement TLS 1.3 + AES-256, isolation stricte par établissement, hébergement 100 % UE (Allemagne) sans sous-traitance hors UE. DPA conforme GDPR disponible incluant les clauses spécifiques au secret bancaire (art. L511-33 Code monétaire et financier) et au secret des assurances.
What should I do in case of ACPR or AMF audit?
The Certyneo audit trail is exportable at any time as a certified PDF. It documents the signer's identity, qualified timestamp, document integrity, and compliance with legal deadlines. These elements are enforceable against supervisory authorities to demonstrate compliance with advisory duties and pre-contractual information requirements.
How much does electronic signature cost for a financial institution?
A free plan allows you to test on 5 envelopes per month. Beyond that, paid plans start at a rate compatible with the current opportunity cost of paper files. 10-year archiving, eIDAS audit trail and technical support are included.
