RatiVault vs Adobe Sign
Adobe Acrobat Sign brings the trust of the PDF format Adobe invented. But financial services need more than trusted file formats — they need vaulted storage, immutable audit trails, and compliance frameworks designed for FCA and PRA scrutiny.
Financial-grade signing with built-in vaulted document storage
Enterprise e-signatures backed by Adobe's trusted PDF platform
Adobe Sign pricing typically requires annual commitments and per-user fees. Here's what RatiVault offers instead.
For advisory firms and small financial practices
For regulated firms with compliance obligations
For banks, insurers, and large financial institutions
SHA-256 hash at upload, before any signer touches the document. Immutable audit trail throughout. Any modification is cryptographically detectable. Not a feature flag — the architecture itself.
Financial regulators expect years of retention. RatiVault stores documents and complete audit trails for 7 years by default, with immutable storage that prevents deletion or tampering during the retention period.
Per-event logging: IP address, user agent, ISO 8601 timestamp, verbatim consent text, document hash. Exportable as signed audit certificates. Designed for the questions your FCA supervisor will ask.
The signing experience runs zero analytics, zero tracking pixels, zero third-party scripts. Your clients' financial data and signing behaviour is never shared with anyone. Full stop.
Adobe Sign is a reliable signature tool from a company you know. But financial services signing demands more than reliability — it demands provable compliance, vaulted storage, and audit trails that satisfy regulators. RatiVault was built for that scrutiny.
