SignRequest

SignRequest is a Dutch electronic signature platform founded in 2014 in Amsterdam that provides a straightforward and affordable way to send documents for digital signing. Originally built as an independent startup, SignRequest was acquired by Box in 2021 for $55 million, with its technology forming the foundation of Box Sign. The platform continues to operate with EU-based infrastructure, maintaining its roots as a European e-signature solution.

The platform offers essential e-signature functionality including document templates, bulk sending for processing multiple signature requests simultaneously, and configurable signing orders that define the sequence in which recipients sign. SignRequest provides team management features for organizing users and permissions, a developer API for programmatic integration, and customizable branding options that let businesses present a professional appearance. The service integrates with popular tools including Salesforce, Google Drive, Zapier, and Dropbox.

SignRequest stores all data in EU-based data centers in the Netherlands, ensuring compliance with European data protection regulations. The platform is fully GDPR compliant and provides a data processing agreement for enterprise customers. With its free tier and competitive pricing, SignRequest serves as a practical European alternative to larger US e-signature platforms like DocuSign and Adobe Sign, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses that need reliable digital signing without complexity.
