Chancesign

Chancesign is a digital signature platform headquartered in Hong Kong that provides electronic notarization, e‑signing and workflow automation services to businesses, banks and government entities across Asia. The platform was launched in 2016 by founders Lim Dian and Andrew Chiu, both former product managers at multinational financial technology firms. Their goal was to streamline contract management while addressing regulatory compliance requirements in the region.

The core product offers secure, legally recognized electronic signatures, real‑time status notifications, AI‑driven document parsing and audit trail preservation. Users can integrate Chancesign with popular cloud storage and enterprise resource planning systems through RESTful APIs, which has enabled adoption by a range of partners, including banks, property management firms and fintech start‑ups. The service complies with the e‑Sign Act in Hong Kong and other relevant data‑protection regulations, such as the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act.

Chancesign’s business model combines a subscription‑based fee for basic usage with transaction‑based fees for high‑volume or high‑compliance documents. The company has reported steady growth, with an average annual increase of 35 % in active users since 2019. In 2021 it secured a Series A round of US$5.7 million led by Horizon Ventures, followed by a Series B funding of US$12 million in 2023. These investments have been directed toward expanding its AI capabilities and entering the Southeast Asian market.

Industry analysts note that Chancesign’s focus on compliance and integration positions it well against larger e‑signature incumbents such as DocuSign and Adobe Sign, particularly in regions where local legal recognition is a critical differentiator. The company continues to invest in data‑security certifications and regulatory partnerships, aiming to support digital transformation initiatives in both financial and public sectors.
