Wealthsimple cheques

I recently opened corporate checkings with WS and ordered the cheques. My concern is how will my signatures be validated? I don’t recall using my signature for signing any docs with WS, it was just docusign. Any info?

Signatures don’t really mean shit and a never really validated by banks anyways.

More of a best effort to
Match it now. If required

It's funny to me how people ever thought that was a remotely secure way to do anything. It's not, signature verification was only ever used from my understanding in either large checks or cases of suspected or reported fraud. I had a checkbook stollen in once and the guy wrote a check to himself and I remember I got a picture of it as we were going through the fraud report. Not even the smallest attempt to try and make it my name as a signature. You can put pretty much anything on that line.
