Refrendo

Made in Australia

An e-signature and approvals tool made for Australian businesses

Refrendo is built in Australia, priced in Australian dollars, and designed around the way Australian organisations approve and sign purchase orders, supplier agreements, CAPEX approvals and HR documents.

Refrendo is in a closed beta. Beta organisations use it free.

Priced in Australian dollars, by the people who send

No currency conversion on your card statement and no per-user licence for everyone who touches a document. Refrendo plans are set by named senders and a shared monthly allowance; approvers and signers are free. See pricing.

Built around how Australian law looks at e-signatures

Under the Electronic Transactions Acts, an electronic signature works when it identifies the person, shows they intended to sign, is reliable for the purpose, and the other party has agreed to deal electronically. Refrendo is designed around those tests:

Some documents still need wet ink or witnessing depending on the state, most obviously wills. When in doubt, check with your adviser.

The documents Australian teams actually send

Purchase orders that Finance approves before the supplier signs. Supplier agreements countersigned by a Director. CAPEX requests that need two of three executives. Policy acknowledgements for every new starter. Refrendo’s approval steps, quorum rules and templates are made for these.

Local, small and responsive

You deal with the people who build the product, in your time zone. Tell us what your process needs and it may well end up on the roadmap.

Questions

Are electronic signatures legal in Australia?

Yes, for most business documents. The Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and the matching state and territory Acts recognise electronic signatures when the method identifies the person and shows their intention, is reliable for the purpose, and the other party consents. Some documents have special rules, including wills and, in some states, certain deeds, powers of attorney and statutory declarations. Check if you are unsure. This is general information, not legal advice.

Do you charge in Australian dollars?

Yes. All plans are priced and billed in AUD.

Can our Spanish-speaking suppliers sign in Spanish?

Yes. Choose the language when you send: the supplier gets emails and a signing page in Spanish (Spain or Latin American Spanish), while you keep working in English.
