About Penneo A/S

Penneo A/S (Penneo) is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company originally founded to help companies digitally sign documents. Penneo was founded by 6 Danish entrepreneurs, who got together with a shared ambition to reduce the “hassle to get documents signed” by replacing pen and paper with a digital alternative. This new digital “pen” (Pen-neo) was launched in 2014 where Penneo was officially established.

Today, Penneo has evolved into an eco-system of automation solutions that digitizes company workflows related to onboarding of customers (KYC), and signing and management of documents in a secure and easy way. The Company offers a RegTech solution that helps companies comply with regulations in an efficient and inexpensive way.
