Security & Privacy

SecureSign is a security procedure for logging in or performing security-relevant activities, in which you are shown a graphic that only you can decipher and confirm. The SecureSign app is used for decryption.

Credit Suisse places great importance on security in Online Banking. Guaranteeing a high standard of security constantly requires us to implement the latest security technology.

SecureSign can be used for logging onto Online Banking, as well as on most other Credit Suisse channels with a login. More information about the SecureSign login is available here.

After you receive the SecureSign letter, download the SecureSign app from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

Go to the Online Banking home page on your computer and enter your user ID and password.

Select the «add a new SecureSign device» function and follow the instructions.

At the end of the setup process, enter your recovery number to set up additional devices.

To use more than one device to log in with your user ID, after logging on to Online Banking with Credit Suisse Direct you can access your "Security and Privacy" settings via the shield icon and then add more devices under "SecureSign Devices." You can find instructions here (PDF).

After adding a device, you are required to log in again to set it up. To do so, you will need the yellow SecureSign graphic from your SecureSign letter that you received by post after your initial registration.

We will be happy to guide you through the setup process on two mobile devices. Please follow these instructions. There are also video instructions available.

Each new contract contains SecureSign for login security. You can access up to eight contracts on a single device already set up for SecureSign. In the SecureSign App on your mobile phone, click on «Menu» --> User Accounts --> «Add Account»

If you no longer have a device set up for SecureSign and you have provided your mobile phone number as a security feature, then log on to Online Banking with your user ID and password. On the login page click on «Add a new SecureSign device.» Start the setup in order to register your new device.

If you did not provide a mobile phone number as a security feature, this link is not available to you. In this case, please contact our support center.
