We are delighted to welcome VZ VermögensZentrum as a new member of SFTI!
Founded in 1993, VZ is a leading independent financial services provider in Switzerland. Its services cover retirement and financial planning, wealth management, banking, mortgages, insurance, tax and estate planning. At the core of its approach is the ambition to make complex financial questions more transparent and easier for clients to understand and manage.
With VZ, SFTI welcomes a member that brings together deep expertise in pension planning, wealth management and digital financial services with a strong customer perspective. This combination is particularly valuable for topics such as Open Pension and Open Finance, where access to reliable data is key to plan wealth growth and pension situation holistically.
The fit is especially relevant for SFTI’s Open Pension activities, which aim to enable people in Switzerland to access and share data from all three pension pillars in a standardized digital format. This will allow individuals to share their data, discuss their pension situation, think through different scenarios, and close potential gaps in their pension provision.
Corinne Wyser, Chief Digital Officer, VZ Depotbank, comments:
“Through SFTI, we can help turn open standards into tangible solutions that make financial services simpler, more transparent and more accessible for everyone.”
Jan Berchtold, Senior Project Manager Digital & Innovation at VZ, adds:
“Collaboration is key to improving financial services. By working across the ecosystem, we can bring practical innovation to clients faster.”
Stephanie Wickihalder, President of SFTI, says:
“Open Pension is ultimately about giving people a better overview of their financial future. With VZ, we gain a member that combines deep pension expertise with a strong customer perspective. We both aim to translate this ambition into practical solutions.”
We look forward to collaborating with VZ and to jointly contributing to a more open, innovative and customer-centric Swiss financial ecosystem.
