Electronic Signature with signeer

For financial intermediaries in Switzerland – especially asset managers – the obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and FINMA regulations are key. Both require that customers be identified beyond doubt, beneficial owners be recorded, and business relationships be monitored on an ongoing basis. These regulatory requirements are complex but essential for preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. In practice, however, they often lead to high administrative costs – especially when identifications are carried out manually or using external tools.

Digital signatures are only as secure as the provider behind them – but how can you recognize a trustworthy service? Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) play a central role when it comes to legally valid and tamper-proof electronic signatures. Find out what a QTSP is and why mesoneer relies on Swisscom Trust Services.

Digitalization does not stop at occupational pension provision. Many processes in pension funds are already digital today, but one key element often remains paper-based: the signature. An electronic signature for pension funds in accordance with the Swiss ZertES offers enormous potential here – both for the pension funds themselves and for manufacturers of industry-specific management software.
