Gekwalificeerd (QES)

Juridisch gelijk aan de handgeschreven handtekening, met gekwalificeerd certificaat. Voor de meest gevoelige documenten.

Treasury and share transfer agreements are largely form-free and rely on signature for proof of authorisation. The advanced electronic signature (AES) offers the best balance of audit evidence, speed and adoption across finance teams and external counterparties.

Juridisch kader British

Share transfers under the Companies Act 2006

Share transfers and corporate acts must comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the company's constitution. Certyneo's advanced electronic signature evidences authorisation and identity; the audit trail satisfies evidentiary requirements for share transfers registered at Companies House.

UK GDPR and electronic identification in treasury operations

UK treasurers handle personal and sensitive financial data covered by UK GDPR. Certyneo hosts in an EU data centre covered by UK-compliant data protection standards, encrypts communications and provides a data processing agreement — important for FCA data protection rules and anti-money-laundering compliance.
