Signaturit, represented in France under the brand Universign, a major player in electronic signature, and Vialink, join forces to create the European champion of digital transactions, from onboarding to electronic signature, offering the widest combined offering in Europe.
GP Bullhound have acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Vialink on its acquisition by PSG-backed Signaturit, in a strategic move that marks a significant step forward in digital transactions.
Thanks to this merger, Signaturit would become a major group in Europe, with more than 400 employees, enabling thousands of companies to secure and speed up over 100 million online transactions each year.
Pierre Feligioni, CEO of Signaturit Group, commented: “The acquisition of Vialink will allow us to continue our growth and development by offering the most comprehensive offer in Europe in terms of digital transaction management and trust services. With this operation, Vialink’s clients benefit from increased innovation capacity while Signaturit Group will gain access to an integrated set of solutions ranging from identity verification and authentication to automated KYC analysis, through to an electronic signature solution that allows for the dematerialisation of the most complex signatures.”
Philippe Sanchis, CEO of Vialink, said: “GP Bullhound has played an instrumental role throughout the process to help us secure the best possible transaction for the long-term success of the combined business. We look forward to writing the next chapter of our story with Pierre and the rest of the Signaturit & PSG teams. Joining the Signaturit group is a unique opportunity for us to accelerate our development in a context where companies’ needs for digital transformation are constantly growing and they are looking for partners capable of supporting them on a European scale.”
