Simplify contract signing with secure e-signatures for your rental business

For rental businesses, especially those offering high-value assets like vehicles, equipment, or storage units, having a clear and secure rental agreement is essential. That’s why Sharefox now offers seamless digital contract signing through our e-signature integration with Criipto, making the entire rental process faster, more professional, and more secure.

Why e-signatures matter for rentals

In the rental world, time and trust are everything. Using e-signatures ensures a smoother experience for your customers and adds an extra layer of legal protection for your business. Here are a few reasons why implementing digital signatures is a smart move:

• Improved customer transparency: Make sure customers fully understand the terms of the rental before pickup, minimizing the risk of disputes.
• Faster and smoother customer journeys: Signing contracts becomes quick and easy—no printing, no scanning.
• Stronger documentation: Signed contracts are securely stored and accessible for any insurance claims or disputes.
• Legal peace of mind: E-signatures provide clear confirmation of consent, helping you meet compliance and legal requirements.

Meet Criipto: Your digital identity partner

Criipto provides digital authentication and signature solutions powered by trusted eIDs (electronic identities). They help businesses across Europe verify identities and sign documents securely using national identity systems.

With Criipto integrated in your Sharefox setup, you can offer verified digital signatures through trusted national eIDs. This ensures not only legal compliance but also a smooth and familiar experience for your users.

Here’s an overview of the supported eIDs:

MitID (Denmark)

MitID is Denmark’s official digital identity, created through a joint effort by the Danish government and banking sector. It has replaced NemID and is now the only accepted digital ID in the country for secure login and signatures. MitID offers high-level security and is used for everything from banking and government services to signing rental agreements.

MitID Erhverv (Denmark)

MitID Erhverv is the business version of MitID and replaces NemID Medarbejdersignatur. It is used by employees to access self-service solutions and manage business-related tasks, such as reading digital letters or signing documents on behalf of a company.

BankID (Norway)

Norwegian BankID has been in use since 2004 and is undergoing a major upgrade with the BankID app. The app introduces biometric login via fingerprint or facial recognition, making authentication faster and easier for customers. It’s widely used for secure logins and electronic signing in banking, government, and rental services.

BankID (Sweden)

In Sweden, BankID is the most trusted and widely used eID. Issued by Swedish banks, it’s used daily by more than 8 million people for over 20 million transactions, including everything from secure banking to signing documents. It’s a seamless part of everyday life for Swedish users.

Finnish Trust Network (Finland)

The Finnish Trust Network (FTN) combines identity verification services from Finnish banks and mobile operators (like Mobiilivarmenne). Instead of one unified interface, users authenticate via their preferred provider, ensuring flexibility and secure access across a wide range of digital services.

Vipps Login (Norway)

Vipps Login leverages Norway’s most popular mobile payment app, Vipps, to provide smooth and secure user identification. Since most Norwegians already have and trust the app, Vipps Login offers a highly familiar and user-friendly experience for logging in and verifying identity.

.beID (Belgium)

.beID is Belgium’s national electronic ID card solution. This smartcard-based eID requires a reader but offers high security and trust. It is widely used to access government portals, authenticate users, and digitally sign documents.

iDIN (Netherlands)

iDIN is a secure identity solution provided by Dutch banks through the Dutch Payments Association. Each user authenticates using their personal online banking credentials, creating a familiar and secure experience tailored to the individual bank.

DigiD (Netherlands)

DigiD is the Netherlands’ government-backed digital identity solution. It’s used extensively across the public sector, and increasingly adopted by private organizations delivering public services. DigiD is a reliable method for secure access and verification.

Personalausweis (Germany)

Germany’s Personalausweis enables users to authenticate online by scanning their national ID card with a smartphone. It’s a completely password-free solution used by over 56 million Germans, offering a fast and secure login experience across both public and private sectors.
