Electronic Signature Activity on Privy Surges Nearly 250 Percent

Privy continues to solidify its position as Indonesia’s number one Electronic Signature Service Provider (PSrE). In the first quarter of 2026, the company recorded more than 32 million electronic signature activities. This figure skyrocketed nearly 250 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.

Privy’s CEO, Marshall Pribadi, stated that this achievement reflects the increasing needs of the public and business actors for fast, secure administrative processes that can be done from anywhere.

He explained that, in addition to the flexibility and ease that encourage the public to increasingly switch to electronic signatures, legal validity and security guarantees are key drivers of Privy’s success.

Every individual user must go through a series of verification processes, such as personal data and biometrics, before using Privy to ensure the digital identity of every signer.

Moreover, the public also receives protection guarantees in the form of a Certificate Warranty worth up to Rp1 billion if an individual verified by Privy and who signs documents with Privy’s electronic certificate is proven to be inauthentic.

“With that, every document and digital transaction conducted on Privy provides a guaranteed sense of security. Moreover, users can also verify the authenticity of digital signatures in received documents through document verification on Privy,” said Marshall.

In terms of industry demographics, he continued, several sectors driving the increase in electronic signature activities on Privy are financial technology lending (Peer-to-Peer/Paylater), telecommunications & IT, as well as financial services such as multifinance, leasing, and banking.

However, outside those industries, other sectors like health and education also rank at the top with the most signature activities.

“This shows that electronic signatures have become one of the main infrastructures supporting business operations for process, time, and labour efficiency,” he said.

Beyond this achievement, Marshall emphasised that increasing education and literacy for the public is still ongoing and needs to be intensified.

He said that many people still underestimate the role of signatures on digital documents by manually scanning from paper or smartphones and then pasting them onto documents. However, this routine carries high risks to legal validity and potential manipulation by other parties.

“Therefore, Privy continues to intensify education on the importance of properly signing digital documents, one of which is through the #CekDuluBaruPercaya campaign, an invitation to verify digital documents to check the authenticity of electronic signatures via the Privy platform,” Marshall stressed.

Through this campaign, Privy targets all levels of society to be more prudent when receiving digital documents before making decisions. Because digital documents often become tools for fraud by irresponsible individuals who impersonate certain institutions or require payments.

Marshall continued that digital documents can easily be shared with the public, such as via email and WhatsApp groups. Through the #CekDuluBaruPercaya campaign, Privy invites the public to check the authenticity of electronic signatures by uploading digital documents to the Privy app or website at privy.id/verifikasi-pdf.

“With that, the public needs to be more vigilant if they receive digital documents that do not have valid electronic signatures when verified on Privy,” said Marshall.

In addition to avoiding potential losses from fake digital documents, this document verification process also serves as education on the importance of using valid electronic signatures on every digital document so that its authenticity can be verified.

Looking ahead, Privy is optimistic that electronic signature activities will continue to increase. This is driven by intensified education as well as a product roadmap aimed at making documentation processes easier for users.

“We are optimistic that next year, electronic signature activities on Privy can double in 2027 and triple in 2028.” (*)
