In the digital era, digital document signing is a must for businesses, especially in the fintech domain. While third-party solutions are prevalent, there's a compelling case for in-house development. This approach grants businesses enhanced control, adaptability, and potential cost savings.

This presentation will explore the intricacies of creating an e-signing service, emphasizing the pivotal role of the e-Sign Act in ensuring the validity of electronic signatures. We'll also spotlight open-source tools used in this endeavor, such as Spring Boot with Java and various cloud storage options. A significant focus will be placed on the rigorous security measures employed to protect signed documents, ensuring their integrity and confidentiality in compliance with industry standards. Central to our discussion will be the journey of iCreditWorks, a fintech company that transitioned to an in-house e-signing solution. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges, solutions, and rewards of such a transition through this narrative.

By the session's conclusion, participants will have a holistic understanding of building an e-signing service and could leverage the open-source e-signing framework developed by iCreditWorks. The framework includes strategies for securing signed documents against unauthorized access and tampering.
