By GlobalDataCryptomathic managing director Guillaume Forget said: “This capability will have a big impact on Poland’s social and economic agility. Its businesses and individuals can move faster and more efficiently than ever before, without requiring people to meet face to face to, say, witness the signing of contracts.
“The shift to remote digital signatures also accelerates Poland towards a truly paperless environment, with all the environmental benefits that delivers.”
KIR Digital Signature Business Line director Elzbieta Włodarczyk welcomed the alliance, saying that a cashless experience is especially significant during the current time of social distancing.
“KIR’s partnership with Cryptomathic represents a significant milestone in the digitalisation of Poland’s economy and the modernisation of its national payment infrastructure,” Włodarczyk noted.
