Zürcher Kantonalbank is the first Swiss bank to offer customers a SecureSafe digital safe deposit box from DSwiss as part of its e-banking services, the firms say.

SecureSafe is an Internet data safe based on SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) that offers users a central location for storing documents, guaranteeing storage of digital data and passwords, which can be accessed at any time and from anywhere. Customers can also access their stored documents via an Internet browser or the iPhone/iPad app (An Android app is to follow).

The SecureSafe digital locker is connected directly to the e-banking platform at Zürcher Kantonalbank. It can be used as both a personal storage locker and a location for transferring and accessing electronic bank statements and documents.

"The responsible use of digital storage in business and home environments is becoming increasingly important. We are promoting the awareness of the safe storage of digital data by the value-generating integration of SecureSafe into the ZKB Online Bank,” said director change e-banking at ZKB Roger Huber.
