CounterSign

Sign without signing up

Key Boex Benefit

Bring trade partners on board without onboarding them.

Send a trade. Your counterparty reviews and signs through a secure link. No account. No printing. No email chains. 

When you ask a counterparty to sign, this is what gets in the way…

  • The email gets ignored, the PDF gets lost, or it lands in spam.

  • They are asked to create yet another account, and stall.

  • They print, sign, scan, and email back. Slowly.

  • Days pass between sending the trade and getting a signature.

  • A signed PDF has no audit trail, so disputes get messy.

  • Versions multiply across email threads. Nobody is sure which is final.

CounterSign removes the friction at the other side.

One link.
One agreement.
One trade record.

Boex CounterSign lets your counterparty review and sign a trade without creating an account. They get a secure link and see the full trade, including parties, terms, banking, and documents, and can sign or request changes in one place.

 
Once signed, the trade can move on to shipping and payment. Every signature is identity-linked, legally enforceable, and backed by international and UK digital trade law. A simpler path from agreed trade to executed document.

How CounterSign works:

SELLER

1. Create the trade in Boex

Add the counterparty, the terms, optional banking details, and documents, as normal.

2. Send for CounterSign

A secure link goes to your counterparty by email. No account to set up is required.

BUYER

3. Review the full trade

Parties, terms, banking, and documents. The buyer can review, open and download anything they need.

4. Sign or request changes

Both parties work in the same place. Changes return to seller. Signing moves the trade forward.

BUYER and SELLER

5. Executed trade is available for final review

A single record of the trade is permanently accessible for both parties in the trade.

What CounterSign does

CounterSign extends Boex’s shared trade record to anyone, even counterparties who are not yet on the platform. No app to install. No account to create. Just one secure link and a clean path to signature.

 

Three things CounterSign gets right

No onboarding barrier. Your counterparty signs through a secure link. No Boex account needed.
 
Real legal weight. Every signature is identity-linked, audit-logged, and enforceable under UK and international digital trade law.
 
One trade record. The signed trade lives inside Boex, with full version history and a tamper-evident audit trail.

Why CounterSign Matters

The single biggest reason digital trade falls back to PDF and email is friction on the other side. CounterSign removes that friction, without giving up the audit trail or the legal certainty.

Proven outcomes:

Fewer drop-offs at the signature step
Days, not weeks, between trade and signature
One legally enforceable record, not a chain of PDFs

“Before CounterSign, half our buyers stalled the moment we asked them to sign up. Now they just sign. Same day, every time.”
