RatiVault vs OneSpan Sign

OneSpan built compliance signing 20 years ago. RatiVault built it for the next 20.

OneSpan Sign has deep roots in regulated signing — banking, insurance, government. That pedigree is genuine. But two decades of platform evolution means legacy APIs, complex deployment, and pricing models that require a sales conversation before you see a number. RatiVault delivers the same compliance rigour on modern infrastructure, with transparent pricing and an API your developers will actually enjoy using.

Two different approaches

RatiVault

Modern vault-grade signing — same compliance depth, better technology

OneSpan Sign

Why teams switch from OneSpan Sign

Tamper-proof from upload to archive

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.

7-year vaulted storage, standard

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.

FCA-ready audit trail

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.

Zero third-party exposure

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.

The bottom line

OneSpan is the established name in regulated signing, and their compliance capabilities are solid. If you want the same regulatory assurance on a modern platform with transparent pricing, a developer-friendly API, and tamper-proof vaulted storage, RatiVault is the forward-looking choice.
