Banks and building societies are some
of the biggest consumers of paper.
By law, they are required to save
written evidence of all financial and
legal transactions and many customer
interactions are printed and stored in
multiple copies. However, managing
the paper trail can cause delays in
processes, be costly and have an
adverse impact on the environment.
To date, handwritten signatures
have made customers feel safe, whilst
also being a simpler option than digital
signatures that have required the use of
a smart card or a USB stick. As customers
already comfortable with chip and pin
systems and smartphones embrace
online banking, could an easy-to-use
digital signature system be the next
development to make transactions
quicker and arguably more secure
for financial organisations and their
customers?
European regulations state that
an electronic document signed with a
qualified electronic signature, or digital
signature, can be as legally binding as a
document signed in the traditional way.
Olivetti, part of the Telecom Italia Group
and a major provider of IT products to
the banking sector with a 70% share
of the global pass-book printer market,
has been championing the move
towards digitisation in Italy through the
development of a secure, time-saving
digital signature solution.
Called Graphometric Signature,
Olivetti’s system saves a signature
digitally and produces a digital
certificate for the user that saves time
at the counter by removing the need for
customers to bring proof of identity to a
bank or building society.

Olivetti leads the way in
digitisation of signatures
cover story
01732 759725
The pad features special sensors that
gather every detail of how a person
actually signs their name, including the
speed, writing angle, pressure and even
the rhythm of the writing. By recording
the unique characteristics of every
signature, Graphometric Signature makes
it virtually impossible for a signature to
be forged.
Olivetti has been working closely
with selected banks to make sure the
system works and that it conforms
to all requirements. The first bank to
implement the Graphometric Signature
Pads in all 13,000 of its branches is Intesa
San Paolo. Since launching the Paperless
Branch Project in October 2011, 96% of
customers have joined the service.
Perfect for small workgroups,
the new d-Color MF2603en and
d-Color MF2604en colour A4 systems
are compact, high performance office
tools, with low power consumption
when copying and scanning thanks
to the use of energy-efficient white
LEDs that also generate less heat
for a more comfortable working
environment.
