Marking an agreement as signed confirms that all required information and approvals have been received and that the agreement is ready for use.

Use this article if you already have everything you need — for example, a signed paper document you received back from your customer — and just want to know how to register it in Twikey. If you still need to invite the customer to sign on paper first, see Manually signing an agreement: Core vs B2B.

You can perform this action when the agreement is in one of the following states:

  • Prepared
  • Printed
  • Awaiting merchant approval (documents signed and uploaded again by the end-customer)

How to mark a single agreement as signed

  1. Find your agreement (make note of the state, so use the filters if necessary)
  2. Open the agreement details
  3. Click Mark as signed
  4. A pop up screen will appear with options depending on the agreement type.
  • All required information is filled in
    • For both CORE/B2B
    • Confirms that all mandatory data is complete,
    • For B2B mandates make sure there is a stamp and signature from the bank as well !
  • All required persons signed the agreement on yyyy-mm-dd
    • For both CORE/B2B
    • You can adjust the signature date by clicking the date field.
    • If you don't change it, Twikey uses today's date as the signature date.
  • Notify debtor
    • For both CORE/B2B
    • Sends an optional confirmation email to the customer.
  • Add PDF document
    • For both CORE/B2B
    • Upload the signed PDF document (optional).
      When sending a B2B mandate to the bank for validation, a signed document is required. If missing, the bank may reject the mandate.
    • Uploading a PDF is not mandatory when marking an agreement as signed. You can add or update the document afterwards.
  • Debtor bank signed the agreement
    • For B2B only
    • If unchecked, the mandate will be sent to the bank for validation.
  • Details of the signer
    • For both CORE/B2B
    • If the customer’s name is missing, the following information will be requested:
      • Last name
      • First name
If mandatory information is missing (e.g., name, IBAN), the system will prompt you to complete the required fields before proceeding.
The required document(s) can be uploaded by the end-customer or you can upload them yourself before or during the marking as signed.
For B2B mandates, always set the signature date to match the date the customer actually signed the paper document — do not leave it at today's date unless that is genuinely correct. The signature date is sent to the customer's bank as part of the mandate. Some banks (this is seen most often with Dutch banks, but can also happen with Belgian ones) reject the collection if the signature date on file doesn't match what the customer registered with them, even if the mandate itself was accepted.

How to mark multiple agreements as signed

Marking multiple agreements as signed directly in Twikey is not possible for mandates that already exist individually — this action is always done one by one.

However, when importing a file of existing mandates, you can mark all of them as signed immediately.
For more details, see How to import existing mandates section.
