VZ Safe: Digital security for important documents

New standards in digital banking and document management

With the VZ Finance Portal, VZ Depotbank has one of the most innovative all-in-one solutions for payment transactions via e-banking, insurance management and the secure storage of wills. In order to create an even broader offering for its customers, VZ Depotbank has expanded its online services to include digital safes and mailboxes. 

VZ Safe: Digital safe deposit box with Swiss security standards

In the VZ Finance Portal, customers can manage and monitor all their finances, investments, mortgages, insurance policies and pension assets. They now also have a digital safe deposit box at their disposal: the VZ Safe. The VZ Safe is suitable for storing wills, marriage contracts, tax documents, purchase contracts, receipts, passwords or private pictures. All data is encrypted and stored on servers in Switzerland in accordance with the highest banking standards. Thanks to the single sign-on integration, customers can switch from the VZ Finance Portal to VZ Safe at any time and from anywhere and thus access their documents - on their computer, tablet or smartphone.

A step into the future

VZ Safe is an important digitalization step at the customer interface - in other words, where savers and investors interact with VZ Depotbank. This step makes contact and communication faster and more practical. And it makes an important contribution to the environment because everything is paperless. In the next phase of the project, it will also be possible to exchange documents between VZ advisors via VZ Safe. This will allow even complex banking transactions to be processed more efficiently and with the highest security standards.

The 3 main functions of the VZ Safe at a glance

1. password manager for logins

Managing all passwords in one place is one thing above all: incredibly convenient. In addition to the secure storage of login information, the password manager in VZ Safe also offers a password generator and a password checker that alerts customers to weak or reused passwords.

2. file manager for saving and managing documents

VZ Safe also has a file manager in which important documents such as contracts, insurance documents and other documents are secured multiple times. For easy administration, Smart Find will soon be available, a powerful search function that VZ customers can use to easily search through encrypted documents. Each document is subjected to a content analysis of personal names, places, organizations and other relevant terms in the search index. This makes finding content easier, more complete, more accurate and more efficient.

3. digital mailbox for the delivery of bank documents

VZ Safe also has a digital mailbox to which all bank documents such as account statements or quarterly reports can be sent digitally and in an environmentally friendly way. In contrast to e-banking, the documents in VZ Safe leave the bank's access area. This means that the documents can be stored for an unlimited period of time, which was confirmed in a ruling by the European Court of Justice.
