Majid Al Futtaim Communities, part of UAE-based retail conglomerate Majid Al Futtaim Properties, and Emirates Post, UAE’s official postal operator, have collaborated to launch a simplified click and sign solution for off-plan Sale and Purchase Agreements (SPA).

As part of the partnership, Majid Al Futtaim Communities will allow customers to sign documents and transactions digitally with ID verification, using a digital signature authenticated by UAE PASS, the first secure national digital identity for citizens and residents of the UAE.

The initiative, which marks a new milestone for the UAE’s property sector, is designed to improve the customer experience across Majid Al Futtaim Communities’ landmark destinations in the UAE.
