newhome.ch relies on SwissID

With SwissID, users can register for Swiss online services easily and securely. SwissID is a free service from the SwissSign Group and is now being used for the first time in the property sector on the Swiss real estate portal newhome.ch.

«The partnership between the SwissSign Group and newhome.ch is based on the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies that enable property seekers and advertisers to register with us easily, securely and free of charge», says Jean-Pierre Valenghi, CEO of newhome.ch. «For us, the benefits of this were obvious. Our users save time when registering at newhome.ch, and with a SwissID login, for the first time they now also have access to a Swiss real estate portal in addition to various existing online portals.»

With a SwissID, the user's data is encrypted and stored exclusively in Switzerland and is thus secured against third-party access. Users remain in control of their data – they can decide which information they want to share with which online service provider at any time. Users also have the option of adding an additional security level to their SwissID by means of two-factor authentication.

Markus Naef, CEO of the SwissSign Group: «We are pleased to announce that newhome.ch is the first property portal among our partners. This step confirms that SwissID is also an ideal solution for the real estate industry.»
