Youtrust is a European digital trust company that lets businesses verify who they are dealing with and get documents signed in the same process. Checks and signature happen in one platform, so a business no longer stitches together separate tools to onboard someone.
The platform is aimed at companies that onboard customers, partners or employees remotely and need the checks and the signature to be legally sound, from insurers and banks to letting agents, HR teams and notaries.

What Youtrust Does
Onboarding a new client often means one tool for KYC, another for company checks and a third for the contract, which creates friction, risk and delay. Youtrust brings those steps together. Identity, company, bank account and document verification sit in the same flow as a legally binding eSignature, and each verification step is linked to the final approval so the whole journey leaves one audit trail. A compliance team can see, for any signed contract, exactly which checks were run on whom before it was approved.
Products
ESignature
eSignature lets teams send and sign documents online in a compliant way, either in the web application or by creating and tracking signature requests through the API.
Verify
Verify helps compliance and onboarding teams check customers automatically and fight fraud.
- Identity document checks from an image or video captured on a smartphone
- Biometric matching of a live face capture against the photo on the document
- Certified Identity Verification (PVID), an ANSSI-certified hybrid level that pairs automated facial recognition with human review
- Company checks covering key company information and legal representatives
- Bank account checks of data validity and ownership
- Screening against more than 280 international sanctions and PEP lists, including EU and OFAC lists
- Document processing that combines OCR with large language models
Electronic Seal
The electronic seal lets an organisation authenticate documents it issues electronically, so recipients can trust their origin and integrity without a person signing each one.
Workflows
Workflows join signature, identity and business verification into ready-made journeys for KYC, KYB and AML/CFT compliance. They are built for regulated sectors where onboarding and contracting happen together: insurance, real estate, B2B rental, human resources, banking and notaries.
How It Works
Youtrust is delivered as SaaS through a web application or an API, and its solutions are hosted exclusively in France. Data in transit is protected with current TLS versions only.
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| API | The API connects Youtrust to existing tools or embeds signature and verification directly in a customer’s own application, with progress tracked in real time through webhooks. |
| Evidence | Signature evidence files are archived with Arkhinéo, a third-party archiving service, so proof of each signature can be produced later. |
| Connectors | A HubSpot integration, a Zapier connector and an AI connector link Youtrust to other business tools. |
