Digitalization taken to its logical conclusion with end-to-end digital processes

Swiss banks and financial institutions need fully digitalized processes. Firstly, this allows them to efficiently combine internal approval workflows and external customer communication in one portal, making employees more productive. Processes can be implemented in one continuous flow, internal approvals and cross-border operations can be standardized, accelerated, and better documented.

Secondly, modern banking customers expect a seamless digital experience. Corporate clients especially benefit from end-to-end digital processes for account openings, loans, powers of attorney, and trade finance.

The best solution provides all of this from a single source, saving costs, time, and implementation effort. The result is a platform for ZertES and eIDAS compliant signatures, tailored to each legal jurisdiction and use case.

The challenges of the Swiss financial sector

Digitalization and highest security standards

Building trust where it matters most

The Swiss financial sector is under pressure: rising compliance demands, soaring operational costs, and customer expectations for seamless digital experiences. Yet many institutions still rely on outdated, manual processes that create risk, delay, and frustration.

Compliance risks

Manual signatures delay FATCA/CRS reporting, increasing audit risks.
Non-compliant digital documents expose institutions to legal penalties.
Different legal standards complicate multi-jurisdictional agreements.

Security concerns

Multiple providers increase data sovereignty risks.
Unencrypted documents are vulnerable to tampering.

High process costs

Paper-based workflows inflate operational costs (printing, postage, storage).
Redundant data entry across systems increases labor costs.
Physical signatures extend contract processing.
Manual approval chains slow down internal workflows.

Media disruptions

Platform switches frustrate customers and employees.
Disconnected systems force manual data transfers, increasing errors.

Typical implementation scenarios

This is how trust services are used in the context of digital finance and compliance:

Organizational verification:

A qualified electronic seal is applied to the bank’s digital document register (e.g., customer contracts, compliance records) to verify the institution’s identity and authenticity.

Day-to-day operations

Customer documents (e.g., account openings, loan agreements, FATCA/CRS forms) are automatically sealed with a qualified electronic seal to ensure integrity and compliance.
Regulatory filings (e.g., FINMA submissions, audit reports) are signed using a qualified electronic signature (QES) to meet legal requirements under ZertES and eIDAS.

API-based processes

Embedded signing in online banking, CRM, or core banking systems (e.g., for instant mortgage approvals, trade finance documents, or KYC updates).
Automated compliance workflows (e.g., real-time signing of FATCA/CRS forms during customer onboarding).
