During the 18th Singapore–Zhejiang Economic and Trade Council meeting, eSignGlobal announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Lion-OCBC Capital Asia, the private equity arm of OCBC Bank. The partnership strengthens eSignGlobal with institutional support from one of the region’s largest financial groups and lays the foundation for a cross-border digital trust ecosystem linking China and Southeast Asia.
As part of this announcement, eSignGlobal also confirmed the deep integration of its platform with Singpass, Singapore’s national digital identity system, making it one of the very few electronic-signing providers to achieve two-way digital identity mutual recognition between Singapore and China. This establishes core technical infrastructure for cross-border digital transactions.

The Singpass integration allows users in Singapore and Southeast Asia to sign contracts by simply scanning a QR code, while complying with Singapore’s Electronic Transactions Act. This solves common challenges such as identity verification and contract delays, reinforcing digital trust in sectors ranging from logistics and technology to financial services.
