Cygnetise

Cygnetise provides a digital application used to manage authorised signatories, bank mandates and authorised trader lists, replacing paper-based and manual processes with a single system of record that offers real-time visibility, an audit trail and access controls. Customers configure the application to their own data requirements — including dropdown, free-text and numerical fields, supporting documentation uploads and corporate branding — then onboard signatories, entities, accounts and signature lists, with bulk upload available for larger implementations.

Once live, administrators maintain signatory personnel and authority levels through their existing workflows and grant read-only access to internal colleagues, external counterparties and banks, who then see the current signature lists instantaneously without manual resending. The company positions the product as industry agnostic, with three commonly cited use cases: company secretariat (governance and compliance), corporate treasury (bank mandate management) and authorised traders (trader list compliance under MiFID II). Stated benefits include reduced fraud risk, lower risk of contract disputes through historical recreation of signatory details and statuses, and reduced paper reliance as part of ESG objectives.

Business model

Cygnetise sells a configurable digital signatory and bank mandate management application to organisations, with a demo-led sales process and onboarding/configuration phase preceding activation of the customer account.

Traction

Named customers and published case studies include Evelyn Partners, Butterfield Trust (client due diligence transformation) and Stonehage Fleming, where a head of operations described replacing time-consuming paper-based signatory list processes; one case study describes a customer moving from a 12-step manual process to three digital touchpoints.

Latest developments

The company continued publishing governance and compliance content through late 2025 and early 2026, covering board-level treasury governance and signatory management, gaps in employee offboarding processes relating to signatory removal, and tooling for company secretariat teams beyond entity management software.
