CHARLOTTE, NC. and MURRAY, Utah– Connect Financial Software Solutions, LLC and Virtual StrongBox, Inc. said they have agreed to a marketing partnership enabling Connect Online Banking credit unions to offer My Virtual StrongBox to their members via a single sign-on interface between the two services. The move will improve online data and document security for members using the Connect service, the companies said.
My Virtual StrongBox works like an online safe-deposit box, combining easy access, functionality and best-of-breed security. It also provides credit unions and their members the ability to both share and exchange files and documents securely with whomever they choose.
Ron Daly, President/CEO of Virtual StrongBox, said a growing number of credit unions are looking to My Virtual StrongBox to provide the secure exchange of any type of file or document between the credit union and members.
“Consumers trust their financial institutions with their personally identifiable information more than any other companies – retailers, credit card companies, Internet providers – but My Virtual StrongBox is taking data security to an unprecedented level,” said Daly. “We look forward to delivering this capability and more to Connect FSS’ client credit unions.”
Connect FSS recognizes that secure online storage controlled by the member creates a new opportunity for their clients to automate processes, reduce manual intervention, enhance member services, and achieve significant cost reductions. As the first step, the two companies put in place a direct interface between each company’s solution”
The first credit union to take advantage of this new partnership is $1.1-billion Altra FCU in Onalaska, Wis.
